Trainer

Felix Schaller arbeitet als unabhängiger Trainer an der Schnittstelle von funktionaler Sicherheit, Perzeptionsvalidierung und KI-Governance, mit Fokus auf ISO 26262, SOTIF und ISO 21448 in autonomen und KI-gestützten Systemen. Seine Karrierelinie reicht von Computergrafik und Physiksimulation über Jahre als Lead Research Scientist bei Validas AG bis zur heutigen Arbeit an funktionaler Sicherheit für Autonomie und KI. Durchgängiges Thema ist der Kontext als Grundlage von Sicherheit, ein System ist nur innerhalb seines definierten Gültigkeitsbereichs verlässlich. Validas' formale Toolchain-Analyse hat dieses Denken wesentlich geschärft. Seine heutige These, dass sichere Systeme nur innerhalb eines definierten Kontexts möglich sind (angelehnt an Gödels Unvollständigkeitssätze), erklärt auch den Ursprung von Halluzination in heutigen KI-Systemen: wo rein induktiv aus Trainingsdaten geschlossen wird, fehlt die Bindung an einen expliziten Kontext. Sein eigener Forschungsweg verfolgt daher die umgekehrte Richtung, Deduktion aus Theoremen in einen definierten Kontext statt Induktion aus Daten. Digital Twins dienen ihm dabei als zentrales Validierungsinstrument.
