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.

"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"

My fellowship significantly contributes to the ICT standards landscape by advancing the Biometric System-on-Card (BSoC) standards, particularly within the ISO/IEC 17839 series.

The number of devices in these areas vastly outnumbers the number of human beings and this area is almost unprotected, which could have detrimental effects on our society. It is the hope that the project could be one way to enable a broader cybersecurity protection.

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.

Interoperability ensures that users can seamlessly navigate and interact within the Metaverse, breaking down barriers between different platforms and ecosystems.

Standards for basic quantum infrastructures such as quantum information encryption in future quantum networks can support innovation in quantum technology and accelerate its uptake by European SMEs.

This fellowship helped to establish dominant European influence on the first standards for QPICs.
