The status of AI for standardization is currently emerging but rapidly evolving, with multiple global

initiatives recognizing AI’s transformative potential in shaping and being shaped by technical
standards. Here's a concise summary of the current state, actors involved, and key developments:

🔹 Why Standardization in AI Matters


Interoperability: Ensures AI systems can work across platforms, nations, and industries.

Safety & Trust: Standard frameworks are essential for certifying AI’s reliability and transparency.

Governance: Helps governments and industry align on rules for responsible AI use.

Global Trade & Innovation: Harmonized standards reduce friction in international markets.

🔹 Global Organizations Actively Working on AI Standards


Organization Status & Key Initiatives
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42 Leading international standardization on AI. Developed standards like
ISO/IEC 22989 (AI concepts) and 24028 (Trustworthiness).
IEEE Standards Association Active with IEEE 7000 series (e.g., 7001 for transparency, 7003 for
algorithmic bias). Focused on ethically aligned design.
OECD Provides AI principles widely adopted by governments; supports metrics and policy toolkits.
Not a standard body but influential.
CEN-CENELEC (EU) Aligning European regulation with technical standards for trustworthy AI,
under EU’s AI Act.
NIST (USA) Published the AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF) in 2023, a key reference for
trust, safety, and fairness.
ITU-T Telecom-focused UN agency with working groups on AI governance and standardizing AI for
5G, health, and climate.
China’s National Standards Body Developing domestic standards aligned with the New Generation
AI Development Plan, some already adopted nationally.

🔹 Types of Standards Being Developed


Terminology & Taxonomy (e.g., ISO/IEC 22989)

Data Quality & Bias Mitigation

Explainability & Transparency (e.g., IEEE 7001)

AI Lifecycle Risk Management (e.g., NIST AI RMF)

Ethical and Societal Impacts

Benchmarking & Evaluation Frameworks

Sector-Specific Standards (e.g., AI in healthcare, manufacturing, autonomous systems)

🔹 Recent Milestones
ISO/IEC 42001 (2023): First international AI Management System standard, similar to ISO 9001.

EU AI Act (2024): Legally binding obligations based on risk categories; strongly references
standardization.

G7 Hiroshima AI Process (2023): Promotes interoperable governance tools including standards.

🔹 Challenges
Fragmentation across countries and sectors

Fast-moving AI tech outpacing traditional standard cycles
