From 5 to 8 July, the TC28 AI Subcommittee (SC42) convened its Second Plenary Meeting through a mixed approach (i.e. online & offline meeting). The four-day meetings’ agenda mainly included four points: (i) presentation of the work report, including committee’s work report in general, as well as for specific working groups; (ii) appointment of new group leaders; (iii) discussions on AI standardization, autonomous road vehicles, and AI ethics; and (iv) meetings in specific working groups (Annex 1).
Technical Committee on Information Technology (TC28) is the technical committee responsible for the standardization work in specification, design and development of systems and tools for national information collection, presentation, processing, transfer, exchange, presentation, management, organization, storage and retrieval systems.
Under TC28, the subcommittee on artificial intelligence (SC42) was established in 2020, focusing exclusively on AI issues. SC42 has eight working groups, specifically: WG of automated driving; WG of chips and systems; WG of products and services; WG of computer vision; WG of trust worthiness; WG of basic standards; WG of models and algorithms; and WG of knowledge graph.
The meeting concluded the work of last year and vision on next steps. The eight working groups together with 288 members are working on development of 51 standards in total. During the meeting, appointment of WG leaders for the newly-established working groups (i.e. WG of computer vision, knowledge graph, and automated driving) have been declared (Annex 2). More than 40 members of the subcommittee, and representatives from WGs participated in the offline meeting while other 30,000 experts joined online.
