Engineering Future Critical CPSs with Trustworthy GenAI Across the Lifecycle
One of the most transformative developments today is the integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) into the development of critical software-intensive cyber-physical systems (CPSs). From autonomous vehicles to industrial robotics, these systems are entering a new era shaped by AI-driven development and automation. In this paper, we consider Software Engineering (SE), Artificial Intelligence (AI), AI ethics, and social aspects, to explore how such technologies can be harnessed safely, transparently, and with human values at the center. Our contributions include a \textit{vision} for SE, guiding the engineering of future trustworthy safety-critical CPSs under the influence of GenAI. We critically analyze how three established certification principles can be leveraged to cope with the societal and technical tensions introduced by GenAI adoption, and propose a research and practice agenda to ensure that future CPS development and operations cycle remain trustworthy, both from a system (hardware and software) and from a societal perspective.
