This report is one of the deliverables of AI watch specifically focusing on the mapping of the AI standards onto the requirements introduced by the European Commission AI Act. This is the 3nd version of the study reflecting updated input from stakeholders and the requirements, as present in the Commission’s official proposal for a horizontal regulatory framework for AI.

The Report provides an encompassing compilation of standardisation efforts underway in the framework of European SDOs, such as CEN and ETSI, Government, Public Bodies and Agencies, such as the European Commission, the European Data Portal, European Parliament and the HLEG-AI and JRC, Global SDOs and initiatives, such as IEC, IEEE, ISO/IEC, ITU-T, WEF, W3C, as well as non-EU, country-specific contributions including China, Germany, Japan, UK and USA and relevant contributions from other organisations (BDVA, G20, Khronos, OECD, SAE International).

The intent of the ETSI Technology Radar (ETR) is to highlight probable technology trends for ICT that may impact ETSI’s quest to remain at the forefront of ICT standardization.

This report is the official Road Map analysis from the CEN-CENELEC Focus Group on AI. It builds on a strong consensus of over 80 experts. The Focus Group has established an overall framework for European AI standardization, by developing a high-level vision (chapter 1.2).

This vision is applicable for the whole AI ecosystem and aims at supporting the European AI industry and mitigate risks for European citizens. The Road Map creates an overview of existing standardization activities in IEEE, ETSI, ISO/IEC, ITU-T and CEN-CENELEC (chapter 1.3 and Annex B). As part of this landscape analysis a total of 29 use cases were submitted from CEN-CENELEC TCs to the Focus Group.

The Rolling Plan is a living document. It aims to cover as much as possible the broad range of standardisation activities, technical specifications and standards relevant for the respective policy objectives and topic areas, however it is not based on a systematic search. The Rolling Plan is a document that is reviewed each year based on input from the Commission and advice from the MSP

Destination Earth (DestinE) is an initiative initiated and coordinated by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CNECT) in support of the European Green Deal and as contribution to the establishment of the Green Deal Data Space, one of several data spaces envisaged in the European Strategy for Data.

This report outlines nine potential signature initiatives for Europe: bold actions that set a high bar and that directly address the four objectives for Europe’s digital transformation. This report summarises the outcome of the study Shaping the digital transformation in Europe performed by McKinsey for the Directorate-General of Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT).

Vertical stakeholders often have significant problems in orienting themselves within the standardisation landscape. An introductory guide to the standards groups, destined in particular to accompany the online standardisation tracker, has been prepared and will go online as part of the Global5G.org mission to assist verticals in representing their interests within the standardisation groups.

Together with the 5G Infrastructure Association, Global5G.org leading activities in a new Task Force set up with the Market Representation Partners of 3GPP acting as a catalyst for boosting vertical industry participation in 5G standardisation. The standards tracker is online to assist verticals in orienting themselves in 3GPP standardisation.

A joint-effort between ITU and over 35 other UN agencies and bodies, and all partners of 2019's AI for Good Global Summit, this report provides information about the diverse and innovative activities related to artificial intelligence (AI) across the UN system to meet many of our world's increasingly urgent challenges, from responding to humanitarian crises to tackling climate change.

The document includes the outcomes of the EC-led public consultation that ran from 19 February to 14 June 2020, collecting a wide variety of views on the upcoming policy and regulatory steps on artificial intelligence (AI).
