Proposal(s) title:
  • AI standardisation roadmapping
Proposal(s) topic:

Artificial Intelligence

Impact on SMEs:

SMEs will be strongly impacted by the future set of harmonised standards in support of the AI Act. One of the aims of the JTC 21 is to provide standards that are innovation-friendly and actionable. Following JTC 21/WG 1 work, a dedicated AHG (AHG 9) has been set up to support SMEs.

Impact on society:

My work supports AI trustworthiness characteristics such as robustness, human oversight, accuracy, cybersecurity, and transparency (all those are requirements from the AI Act).

Contribution impact:
  • New standard development
Proposal(s) title:
  • Artificial Intelligence - Operational Design Domain for AI systems
Proposal(s) topic:

Artificial Intelligence

Impact on SMEs:

This project clarifies for SMEs when they use standards related to trustworthiness characteristics, as conformity assessment for those characteristics will be done for defined domains and operating conditions.

Impact on society:

The impact is potentially significant worldwide, as the European regulation on AI and its subsequent harmonised standards will be followed by any international company that wants to do business in Europe.

Contribution impact:
  • New standard development
Proposal(s) title:
  • AI standardization roadmapping in support of the AI Act standardization request
Impact on SMEs:

The future JTC21 harmonized standards will impact every organisations involved in highrisk AI systems and willing to put their product on the EU market. Those future harmonised standards aim also at protecting health, safety and fundamental rights and have therefore an impact on European societies.

Contribution impact:
  • New standard development
  • Update of existing work items
Proposal(s) title:
  • AI standardization in support of the AI Act standardization request
Proposal(s) topic:

Artificial Intelligence

Societal, Economic or Technological Impacts:

Standards developped by JTC 21 and related to the AI Act contributes to safety, health and fundamental rights within the EU. They will provide presumption of conformity to some Articles of the AI Act and provide certainties about some key concepts (accuracy, robustness). Those certainties are absolutly necessary to SMEs which can't afford to invest in a market where there is uncertainties on what need to be specified and verified.

Contribution impact:
  • New standard development
  • Revision of existing work items
  • This fellowship supports my role as a convenor of CEN/CENELEC JTC1 21 Artificial Intelligence WG4 Foundational and Societal Aspects, focusing on pursuing the AI standardisation request.
