The development of ICT standards for QT is crucial for establishing harmonised approaches and interoperability within the EU, thus ensuring the successful deployment of large-scale quantum networks. 

This fellowship allows me to take part to all meetings concerning Cybersecurity, Privacy and Artificial Intelligence (even most are very early or very late in the day, as per rules for scheduling in SDO's), whilst being able to keep delivering standard based consulting especially for SMEs which need to comply for ISO 27001 certifications mostly. 

Considering the publication of the AI Act, in the next months a challenge will be given to supporting the application of the EU Regulation with a complete vision of existing standards, giving also some orientations to individuate possible new standardisation requests where needed.

This project should therefore have a positive impact on the ability of SMEs to produce and assess quality NLP systems, and should simplify compliance with the AI Act requirements.

With this fellowship, I am addressing the standardisation of AI systems, with particular focus on the standardisation request of the EU Commission in relation to the AI Act. 

The expected impact of the project is to provide stakeholders with a certification as defined in article 42 of the GDPR, thus improving trust between actors in a context of PII processing.

My fellowship focuses on several priorities and key gaps related to AI and cybersecurity standards applied in education.

This technical report, resulting from my fellowship’s contributions, is an equitable analysis of the relationship between Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and Post-quantum Cryptography (PQC) technologies. It describes the two technologies' complementary nature and highlights their potential advantages and benefits.

"Once the revision is done, we will disseminate it across the different stakeholders, and it will allow the community to learn the newest editions of widely recognised international standards that support the cybersecurity certification and technical aspects of the process of revision"

Work on ICT readiness is essential for organisations facing increasing risks and threats in an unstable environment when they rely more and more on ICT, supplying them guidance to gain more resilience to infrastructures and organisations.

With AI’s evolution, a growing need for AI ethicists to address ethical, social, and psychological queries is evident. One gap, however, lies in the absence of standardised competencies for these professionals, causing hesitation among organisations to embrace AI ethics.

Blockchain has evolved into a transformational technology promising to offer secure, real-time transactions across different sectors and industries that will revolutionise the way we do business.
