ABSTRACT
This chapter provides comments on a “snapshot” of industrial and regulatory progress with MASS as of mid-2022. This is extracted from a wide range of sources, including events and interactions specific to maritime regulatory controls, and a broad set of events exploring AI and digital technology in both the maritime context and beyond. The evolving understanding of the use of and required controls on AI are summarised in the areas of scope of application, terminology, the human element, risk, the business case, likely applications, regulation, infrastructure, intellectual property, and assurance.
