Standardisation activities covering Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning

According to the World Economic Forum Strategic Intelligence tool, Artificial Intelligence is one of the top global issues. This has been confirmed by the study on Standardisation Priority Areas performed during 2021-2022 by the Standardisation Strategy Consultancy company Knowence for Small Business Standards (SBS).

This page contains an overview of relevant Standardisation activities covering this topic. See also relevant work items at the end of the page.

Standardisation activities in support of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning include:

Specific standardisation of AI / Machine Learning

  • ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42 activities covering artificial intelligence in a horizontal or transversal way
  • Other ISO/IEC JTC1 bodies dealing with AI/ML in the context of their specific applications

In addition, sector-specific applications and standardisation activities for certain products, services or systems can be of interest for SMEs, such as:

Mechanical and machines:

  • Safety of Machinery - AI implications to Safety of machinery - Relationship with ISO 12100, applicable to the Sector Mechanical and Machines

Healthcare services and medical devices:

  • Testing of Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning-enabled Medical Devices
  • Health informatics — Applications of machine learning technologies in imaging and other medical applications

Transport systems and vehicles:

  • Road vehicles - Ground transport safety and artificial intelligence
  • Intelligent Transport systems (ITS) - Use cases for Big data and artificial intelligence supporting intelligent transport systems
  • Intelligent transport systems — Public transport - Machine learning/artificial intelligence for public transport route design and update

Air and space:

  • Space engineering - Machine Learning Qualification for Space Applications Handbook

List of work items of particular relevance covering Artificial Intelligence (AI) and/or Machine Learning

Related to Artificial Intelligence, here we provide a list of Technical Committees that are currently publishing proyects related to Artificial Intelligence (AI):

ENI-> specifications for a Cognitive Network Management system with the aim to introduce a metric for the optimization and adjustment of the operator experience over time by taking advantage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques like machine learning and reasoning. We focus on improving the operator experience to more quickly recognize and incorporate new and changed knowledge, and hence, make actionable decisions, in day-to-day-operations.

Smart M2M-> produce the specifications to enable users to build platforms by which devices and services can be connected, regardless of the underlying technology used.
Our work enables connected devices to exchange information through SAREF, our smart applications reference ontology that runs with oneM2M-compliant communication platforms. With SAREF, SmartM2M is promoting oneM2M Base Ontology with extensions in many IoT domains.

SAI-> Artificial Intelligence impacts our lives every day, from local AI systems on our mobile phones suggesting the next word in our sentences to large manufacturers using AI to improve industrial processes. AI has the potential to revolutionize our interactions with technology, improve our quality of life and enrich security – but without high quality technical standards, AI has the potential to create new attacks and worsen security.

INT AFI-> produce test purposes, test descriptions, and TTCN-3 test cases to enable interoperability testing of the core network elements and covering the single-network, interconnect and roaming scenarios. Use Cases and requirements specified by ETSI for Automated and Autonomic Management and Control (self- management) of Networks and Services are tested via “industry standards-anchored” Proof of Concepts (PoC) events.

eHEALTH-> committed to the creation of a technical standards-based market for health. It will promote a climate of innovation, underpinned by technical standards to ensure interoperability, efficiency, security, privacy and safety in the provision of health services worldwide.

And here we provide the proyects that have been published by the TC´s above:
