Traditional deterministic validation model s are insufficient for statistically proving safety in complex\, real-worl d environments. This talk examines the technical challenges in simulation\ , real-world testing\, long-tail edge cases\, regulatory compliance\, and AI validation. It also explores the emerging role of generative and agenti c AI in transforming automotive safety testing methodologies.\n\n[Event Fl yer in PDF](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Il3nRL5_AEGbOdy540Mm-SAfpgxgt JXC/view?usp=sharing)\n\nSpeaker(s): Gaurav Baban Pokharkar\, \n\nAgenda: \n11:30am - Pizza and water bottles will be served\n\n11:30am - Brief Intr oduction to the IEEE Southeastern Michigan Section and IEEE Robotics & Aut omation Society\n\n11:35am - Introduction to the speaker\, Gaurav Baban Po kharkar\n\n11:37am - Presentation by Gaurav Baban Pokharkar\n\n12:10pm - Q & A\n\n12:20pm - Self-introduction of all the in-person as well as Zoom p articipants\n\n12:40pm - Introduction of Future R&A events and optional LT U CS AI Robotics Lab visit\n\nRoom: J351 (STEM Center 3rd Floor)\, Bldg: B ld.
