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.

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.

The priority is to establish the human as the centre of the Metaverse, where the human has diverse capabilities.

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

Energy consumption can be reduced using more power-efficient hardware, using sustainable power sources, deploying data centers in cooler locations, optimising protocols, using environmental metrics in routing and traffic engineering, etc.

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.

At the high level, ICT standards must establish a framework for ensuring trust, interoperability and interoperation via secure and reliable applications, as well as facilitate the stakeholder ́s engagement.

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.

Quantum simulation will have a huge impact on the study of new materials and new drugs, as well as finding chemical catalysts to remove CO2 from the atmosphere or reduce the amount of energy to produce fertilizers.

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

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.
