In rail safety, the AI bottleneck isn't the algorithm: it's the evidence
Railway electronics are becoming more complex and software-defined, and suppliers are exploring where AI can help. But rail certification runs on determinism and verifiability, while AI is statistical by nature. At InnoTrans 2026, international group Elemaster argues the real gap isn't the algorithm, it's the testing infrastructure needed to prove AI actually works. And that is why owning the physical chain of verification is critical.
