That UL safety logo is a lot more complicated than it looks

UL Solutions, the century-old certification body behind the ubiquitous UL safety logo, is expanding into AI safety evaluation with the release of UL 3115, a structured framework for assessing AI-based products before and during deployment. The company, traditionally focused on fire and electrical safety testing, now faces the challenge of establishing credible safety benchmarks for AI systems. The effort highlights both growing industry recognition that AI needs formal safety evaluation and the complexity of achieving broad adoption from companies and regulators.
