This project, towards enabling a fairer marketplace for rights holders and remuneration of authors and performers, initiated work on a new standard ISO/IEC 23000-23 Decentralised Media Rights Application Format currently at the Working Draft (WD) stage. 

My fellowship aims to contribute to ongoing efforts related to standardisation and European policy, advising on topics related mainly to Robotics and Autonomous Systems and Artificial Intelligence.

With this work, I focus on enabling collaborative ecosystems and models among ICT stakeholders that allow energy saving and a positive environmental and societal footprint, bridging use case workflow and ecosystem design in a way that allows data-driven collaboration and performance increments.

In my role as a circular economy expert, I actively contribute to the advancement of Smart Circular Economy Standards for Europe. I ensure that standards align with EU policies like the European Green Deal, advocating for their integration into standardisation efforts. 

This standardisation project will boost the creation of a certification system for biometric solutions to be used in different scenarios. One of the first scenarios to be addressed is the remote identification of citizens using videoconference tools, i.e., using facial recognition with the users’ own personal devices (either computers or mobile devices).

This work is addressing the demand of harmonised standards for radio regulations certification. In particular it is addressing RFID in the UHF frequency bands 865-868 and 915-921 MHz. 

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.

My fellowship contributes to the standardisation on trustworthiness and security of AI generative pre-trained models to establish a robust framework that addresses the escalating concerns surrounding the security risks and privacy implications associated with the development, deployment, and utilisation of these advanced AI models.

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

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.

In the proposed activity the gaps related to standards will be tackled within three working groups (WG) where I am contributing to: IEEE P1872.3, IEEE P1955 and IEEE P1872.1.1, related to multiple robots, reasoning, 6G for robotics and task representation and planning.

This fellowship is meant to increase confidence in cybersecurity through the convergence of international SDOs and the alignment behind a common international standard which relates both to the market and society.
