AI Standards Hub

Introduction

As part of the UK’s National AI Strategy, the AI Standard Hub’s mission is to advance trustworthy and responsible AI with a focus on the role that standards can play as governance tools and innovation mechanisms.A rapidly growing range of AI-related work is underway across an increasing number of Standards Development Organisations (SDOs) around the world. Against this background, the AI Standards Hub aims to help stakeholders navigate and actively participate in international AI standardisation efforts and to inform the direction of these efforts.

Project aims

Dedicated to knowledge sharing, community and capacity building, and strategic research, the Hub seeks to bring together industry, government, regulators, consumers and civil society, and academia with a view to:

shaping debates about AI standardisation and promoting the development of standards that are sound, coherent, and effective,informing and strengthening AI governance practices domestically and internationally,
increasing multi-stakeholder involvement in AI standards development, and
facilitating the assessment and use of relevant published standards.

Applications

The Hub was launched in late 2022. It contains a searchable catalogue of standards being developed or published by relevant SDOs, as well as additional databases tracking documents and publications with implications for standards, such as government strategies, and laws and regulatory requirements with relevance for AI technologies.

The Hub also serves as a convenor and platform to facilitate new connections, coordination, exchange of ideas, and collaborative problem-solving across stakeholder groups on key themes and topics. This pillar comprises workshops and other live events, alongside online discussion forums and other interactive website features.
