24 AI Hub
“We want to encourage the wider AI community to become involved in standards-making to attract a diverse and representative set of stakeholders”
these have continued throughout 2023. Those taking part included start-ups, regulators, consumer and civil society representatives, standards developers and larger firms. The AI Standards Hub provides education and training with e-learning courses on the topic of AI and standards and metrology specific to AI. “To start with we provided the key elements around standards, regulation, AI and conformity assessment,” says Tim. “This can be expanded and developed over time in response to
what the community says it needs.” The three partner organizations (BSI, the Alan Turing Institute and NPL) worked on specific themes and topics to gather insights into AI based on feedback from stakeholders about what they see as the priorities. The first theme to be tackled by the Hub was ‘trustworthy AI’, where BSI led on the topic of ‘safety, security and resilience’. Activities for this topic, facilitated
by the BSI team, included a mix of research, online discussion and events. Outputs included a series of posts
and blogs, available in the forums and blogs sections of the Hub. An ‘Enabling trustworthy AI’ webinar is viewable on-demand. “All the partners share three main aims in terms of outcomes,” said Tim. “First of all, we want to promote responsible AI by shining a light on what is already going on in the standards system and how it can solve challenges today. “We also want to encourage the wider AI community to become involved in standards-making so that we are continuing to attract a diverse and representative set of stakeholders into standards development. The more diverse the people we bring in, the likelier it is that standards will be truly representative of all our stakeholder community.
“Finally, we want to get more
organizations of all sizes using standards to guide their systems development. The forthcoming Artificial Intelligence Management System Standard (ISO/IEC 42001) will help make sure that AI is embedded in organizations in a way that ensures good governance is in place.” Tim sees the timing of the launch of the AI Standards Hub as assuming greater importance as AI continues to become part of the mainstream. “So far, some of the organizations working in the vanguard of AI development have been in those sectors used to working with standards, such as healthcare. Now AI is moving further into other sectors, as diverse as lift manufacturing and toys. These sectors need to be educated about AI and how it fits with their existing knowledge of testing and certification. “As new sector-specific standards
are developed, the standards landscape will become much more complicated. The AI Standard Hub will really come into its own then to help organizations navigate around what will become a complex landscape,” said Tim.
