PREMIS User Group

PREMIS User Group is free and open for all PREMIS users. You can join the group, attend the meetings and get access to the group resources.

The main goal of the User Group is to share experiences and best practices of using assurance cases and the PREMIS tool.

We meet online on the second Thursday of each month. We have a specific topic for our discussion for each meeting. You can actively participate, share your opinions and hear about experiences of other members. You can also present your ideas, your approach for assurance cases and propose topics for discussion.

The next meeting: Thursday, 12 March 2026 at 15:00 CET / 14:00 GMT / 9:00 EST

The topic of the meeting is Building arguments for AI systems

AI technologies are becoming increasingly popular in critical systems. They differ from other IT technologies and require a different approach to build confidence that it is sufficiently safe for critical systems.

During the meeting we will discuss general principles of demonstrating safety of AI systems in two domains: automotive (ISO/PAS 8800) and medical devices. These two approaches are a bit different from each other. We will talk about them to understand the mechanism for building and maintaining confidence in the safety of critical systems with AI features.

The membership is free and you can leave the group at any moment.
