AI Tools for System Safety Analysis?

Abstract

It was not long ago that there were reports of students using AI applications to write assignments for school. Now it is common for engineers to use AI applications to help with engineering analyses and even to generate software. Some people are concerned as there are cases where AI makes up answers to questions (referred to as hallucinations). There are also situations when it is not clear how the model arrived at a particular answer. To be fair, I seem to remember some analyses generated by full blooded human beings that seemed to have made up answers and difficult to understand conclusions.
