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. 

Fellow's country
Open Call Topics
Impact on SMEs (3rd Open Call)
The AI Trustworthiness Framework will serve as an entry point for industries and SMEs in order to facilitate this process, fostering conformity and facilitating industry competitiveness.
Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
The AI Trustworthiness Framework will serve as an entry point for industries and SMEs in order to facilitate this process, fostering conformity and facilitating industry competitiveness.
Impact on SMEs (5th Open Call)
Industries and SMEs in the EU are facilitated in adopting standards. One of the main barriers for standard adoption is the complexity of the standardisation processes. In order to claim conformity, multiple requirements coming from multiple standards should be met. The AI Trustworthiness Framework will serve as an entry point for industries and SMEs in order to facilitate this process, fostering conformity and facilitating industry competitiveness.
Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
The framework simplifies compliance by serving as a single reference point for multiple obligations under the AI Act. This helps SMEs adopt standards more easily, reducing barriers and supporting competitiveness through clearer, harmonized guidance.
Impact on society (3rd Open Call)
The AI Trustworthiness Framework will reinforce social trust in AI systems, by providing companies, consumers and ultimately citizens with a clear understanding of the fundamental requirements for trustworthy AI.
Impact on society (4th Open Call)
The AI Trustworthiness Framework will reinforce social trust in AI systems, by providing companies, consumers and ultimately citizens with a clear understanding of the fundamental requirements for trustworthy AI.
Impact on society (5th Open Call)
Trustworthiness fosters social acceptance. One of the outstanding barriers in the deployment of innovative technologies is social acceptance. This barrier damages both the economic benefits and the social benefits of designing innovative AI systems. The AI Trustworthiness Framework will reinforce social trust in AI systems, by providing companies, consumers and ultimately citizens with a clear understanding of the fundamental requirements for trustworthy AI.
Impact on society (6th Open Call)
By clarifying what makes AI trustworthy and aligning it with EU values, the project increases public trust and supports responsible innovation. It also helps make ethics a professional role, reinforcing societal oversight over AI technologies.

Description of Activities

"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"

Fellow's country
Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
A unified approach to developing cybersecurity certification schemes and the possibility of reusing evaluation results produced under different certification schemes would be a dominant factor in decreasing the costs and workload needed for the certification of composite products or services. This could, at least partly, remove financial barriers for SMSs to enter the certification market.
Impact on society (4th Open Call)
The societal impact measured by increasing confidence in the certification as a powerful cybersecurity tool would be real.
Impact on society (6th Open Call)
The resulting study in the form of PWI 25543 is aimed at keeping the reference standards as the-state-of_the_art documents which cope with emerging and future technologies in cybersecurity certification.
The goal set up in the plan is strongly supported by sound standards with appropriate scope of application. In this way the assessments can be repeatable and comparable thus create the basis for wide recognition of results which usually appear as certificates respected by all EU Member States.

Description of Activities

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.

Fellow's country
Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
The involved standards are useful so that Europe is involved in this type of cybersecurity, which may affect future EU directives.
Impact on society (4th Open Call)
Every aspect of cybersecurity has a high priority. Access control needs to be timely in place to prevent unauthorised access.
Impact on society (6th Open Call)
This updated standard will allow users (relying parties) to access certificate information for the whole of Europe and be a significant contributor to the single market. The two priorities selected are cybersecurity and interoperability.
The whole scope of DPKI and the proposed access secure protocols are primarily related to cybersecurity. The proposed access protocol will use robust and trusted cryptographic algorithms to protect the protocols. It is prepared for migration to quantum resistant cryptographic algorithms (crypto agility).
In parallel, any communication protocol is designed for interoperability and the two proposed protocols are no exception. Interoperability is a necessity.

Fellow's country
Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
The contributions will make significant impact for the description of the robotics requirements on an industrial intralogistics scenario, where robots and humans operate. This will impact robot communication services that will use 6G.
Moreover, the fellowship strongly focuses on ontologies, to achieve a better interoperability of concepts to enhance robot to robot and robot to humans’ communications. The use of the standardizes DOLCE upper ontology makes a significant difference.
Also, EU have within its borders numerous renowned robotics companies. An increasing number of cutting-edge robotics and autonomous systems now rely on AI-driven reasoning to handle their growing complexity. Today, global regulations are shaping how knowledge is represented for robotics services and tasks, and EU SMEs must comply with these standards. As a result, these knowledge representation standards will significantly influence the development of future robotic and autonomous systems.
Impact on society (6th Open Call)
The outcomes of this activity are very important for the robotics industry because it tackles concepts very close to real world deployment of robots to perform tasks, autonomously, within a robot group, and/or cooperating and/or collaborating with humans. This is a clear evolution of the IEEE RAS standards portfolio (previously focused on high-level concepts and definitions) and a valuable contribution to the robotics standards landscape in Europe and worldwide.

This NIST MDKP PWG GAFB Standard being developed for the New Ecosystem on Multi-Domain Knowledge Planes Driven Networking Era in 5G & 6G presents a tremendous opportunity for the adoption and use of global standards developed in Europe by ETSI in the USA market to steer commerce and open up new collaborations opportunities between USA and Europe stakeholders for commerce and innovation of services and GANA KP Platforms products by industrial players in these markets. This also has the effect of strengthening Europe's position in global standardisation initiatives thanks to the adoption of ETSI standards in the US for global reach and use outside Europe. Stakeholders benefit as follows: Telecommunications network operators/CSPs, Private Enterprises, Government Institutes, SMEs, or Research Institutes can expose network capabilities for use by other authorised parties when available within certain times for specific incentives (e.g., monetisation of the resources usage).
Impact on society (6th Open Call)
The following objectives of the NIST MDKP GAFB Specification provide unique Use Cases for 5G, 6G and Future Networks:
“Requirements for Enablers for Cross-Industry Sectors End-to-End (E2E) Services Innovation and Delivery Agility” that facilitate the leveraging of dynamic resources and assets availability in various sector domains when they are discoverable for use in dynamic on-demand network(s) and differentiated connectivity services formations; and/or application-layer service innovation, composition and delivery using the newly formed networks and connectivity services or ones already available such that they can serve the needs of the targeted application layer service(s).
New ecosystem on Cross-Industry Sectors End-to-End (E2E) Services Innovation and Delivery Agility (i.e., coined the “MD_KPs_Feds_For_5GnB ” Ecosystem) in which ETSI GANA Knowledge Plane (KP) Platforms (based on the ETSI TS 103 195-2) as Distributed Open Platforms (DOPs) that enable federated Autonomic/Autonomous Networking (ANs) should play role as anchors for the ecosystem, together with DOPs on the higher level, namely: Service Federation Orchestration & Autonomic Management & Control Platforms that dynamically place demands for differentiated and federated network connectivity services on the GANA (KP) Platforms.

This NIST MDKP PWG initiative presents a tremendous opportunity for the adoption and use of global standards developed in Europe by ETSI in the USA market to steer commerce and open up new collaborations opportunities between USA and Europe stakeholders for commerce and innovation of services and GANA KP Platforms products by industrial players in these markets. This also has an effect of strengthening Europe's position in global standardisation initiatives thanks to the adoption of ETSI standards in US for global reach and use outside Europe. A New Ecosystem is emerging from the NIST Specifications which have potential to reduce Carbon Emissions, thanks to Nework Sharing.
