Advancing AI Regulation through Standardisation

Description:

The European approach to artificial intelligence (AI) is solidly based on excellence and trust, with the primary goal to support research and industrial capacity while ensuring safety and fundamental rights at the same time. AI is not just a critical asset to simplify our daily lives, it can also be an instrumental asset to solve some of today's biggest challenges: from treating chronic diseases or reducing fatality rates in traffic accidents to slowing down (or stopping) climate change or preventing security threats.

Among the measures that can help improve data quality in AI, standards play a major role. Standards and codes of conduct can help AI systems operate in a safe and reliable manner thus preventing any unintended adverse impact. 
This Webinar will host major experts in the field and it will provide an exhaustive overview of the current agenda of the European Commission on the AI field and different standpoints on the role of AI in Standardisation with correlated needs, gaps and challenges (from SDOs, SMEs and Research & Innovation projects' representatives).
