Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
The work of the IETF ROLL WG significantly impacts European SMEs by developing internationally recognised open standards, such as RPL. RPL presents multiple open-source implementations has been tested through extensive simulations and continuous evaluations. Also, RPL meets all their required capabilities, such as energy-efficient mechanisms, which are pivotal for sustainable growth.
Moreover, the continuous enhancements by the ROLL WG are vital for the evolution and adaptation of new use cases pertinent to the European context. These improvements ensure robust interoperability and adherence to security standards, both critical for SMEs operating in the dynamic European market. This commitment to excellence and relevance is applied in the standard reviews carried out within the IETF Directorates, such as IoT, Routing, and General-Area sectors. Such endeavours underscore our dedication to supporting European SMEs' technological advancement and operational efficiency.

Impact on society (5th Open Call)
Toward the development of EU-friendly solutions for biometrics-based services, employing strong privacy enhancing technologies, thus going further contractual/organisational requirements, to ensure privacy and security by design. Promoting the use of the newest privacy enhancing technologies is in particular very important (biometric technologies are more and more seen as a way to fight against authentication/identification threats in our digital lives) as sharing or leaking biometric information without appropriate protection can be very critical.

Adam Smith

Description of Activities

The draft EU AI Act (including both sets of amendments) lays down significant requirements for logging and record keeping in AI systems.

Country
Spain
Fellow's country
Open Call Topics
Impact on SMEs (1st Open Call)
Providing technical clarity on the right information elements to log is key to supporting the AI Act, and the more clarity that is available, the cheaper it will be for SMEs to comply. There are also many SMEs providing tools to support AI governance, which could receive a significant boost by aligning with the resulting standardised log files.
Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
All three projects are likely to be relevant to the AI Act. SMEs will benefit from clear guidance and societal stakeholders have a voice in the projects. If these projects did not exist, then SMEs would need to rely on lawyers, analysis and academic literature to be compliant.
Impact on society (1st Open Call)
The AI Act envisages that logging can enable post-market monitoring. In future, these standardised logs may provide the ability to have a “black-box” associated with high-risk AI systems, potentially monitored in real-time, reducing the manifestation of risks that have an impact on society.

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
Harmonised cybersecurity standards for AI systems need to be developed and adopted, as a matter of urgency, for the benefit of the European industry, including SMEs and startups, as well as users and consumers. In this context, it is necessary to demonstrate the trustworthiness of AI systems. Cybersecurity is one of the many aspects of trustworthiness.
Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
The AI Act highlights the importance of EU harmonised standards and conformity assessment (based on such harmonised standards) for industrial stakeholders (providers and deployers) and also for users of AI systems. Harmonised cybersecurity standards for AI systems need to be developed and adopted as a matter of urgency, for the benefit of the European industry, including SMEs and startups, as well as users of AI systems. In this context, it is necessary to demonstrate the trustworthiness of AI systems. Cybersecurity is just one of the many aspects of trustworthiness.
A balanced representation of interests involving all relevant stakeholders in the development of standards, contributions from SMEs, consumer organisations and environmental and social stakeholders are therefore welcome. FM Tech Consult BV is a Belgium-based SME.

Impact on society (2nd Open Call)
It is essential to demonstrate the trustworthiness of AI systems, hence providing assurance to users and consumers (societal impact).
Impact on society (4th Open Call)
Cybersecurity for AI systems, although being just one of the aspects, is essential to demonstrate the trustworthiness of AI systems, hence providing assurance and trust to users and consumers leading to great societal impact.
Impact on society (6th Open Call)
It is well known that the widespread use of AI systems in many different sectors of the economy is bound to have a significant impact on society. This subject has been debated at length by different academic, industrial, and governmental organisations. Cybersecurity for AI systems, although being just one of these aspects, is essential to demonstrate the trustworthiness of AI systems, hence providing assurance and trust to users and consumers leading to great societal impact.

Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
The smart energy is currently not only an important market trend of a dynamic growth and rapid technological development, but also a central axis in the EU's Green Deal strategy joining ICT and energy sectors as main pillars for the EU development facing serious energy challenges. Furthermore the green transformation is currently considered to be an important aspect of the European energy security, especially in view of the international situation, the Russian invasion on Ukraine and the scaling energy crisis concerning hydrocarbons. In regard to these challenges the European Commission strategically plans to secure advancing renewable energy technologies further enabled by ICT and a leading global position of the EU in smart energy, transforming the global warming and the international situation challanges into a growth opportunity for EU SMEs driving European innovation with a focus on smart energy. Action's efforts in driving international smart PV standardisation supports EU SMEs.

SMEs will be strongly impacted by the future set of harmonised standards in support of the AI Act. One of the aims of the JTC 21 is to provide standards that are innovation-friendly and actionable. Following JTC 21/WG 1 work, a dedicated AHG (AHG 9) has been set up to support SMEs.
Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
This project clarifies for SMEs when they use standards related to trustworthiness characteristics, as conformity assessment for those characteristics will be done for defined domains and operating conditions.
Impact on society (1st Open Call)
My work supports AI trustworthiness characteristics such as robustness, human oversight, accuracy, cybersecurity, and transparency (all those are requirements from the AI Act).
Impact on society (4th Open Call)
