The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is exploring more targeted regulations for artificial intelligence (AI) in nuclear energy applications. Senior Data Scientist Matt Dennis revealed that a recent review concluded that the NRC's existing regulations could effectively address emerging AI technologies. However, challenges remain regarding the verification of AI's safety, especially its explainability and interpretability. The agency has initiated a strategic plan to assess how AI can enhance nuclear safety without compromising security, leading to potential new guidelines for its deployment in the sector.
The NRC is reviewing its regulations to ensure they can accommodate the safety and effectiveness of artificial intelligence in nuclear energy contexts, emphasizing necessary explainability.
NRC's Senior Data Scientist suggested that while regulations are adaptable to AI, there's a need for specific guidelines regarding the safety and security of its use.
