The Cyprus Organization for Standardization (CYS), in the context of its activities to inform and educate stakeholders and the public in general regarding international and European standards, successfully organized on Wednesday, November 16, 2022, a webinar on "The Role of International Standards for Artificial Intelligence".
The main speakers of the workshop were Mr. Konstantinos Tsioirtos, National Representative to the European Technical Committee for Standardization CEN/CLC JTC 21 'Artificial Intelligence' and Mr. Mr. Peter Duessen, Technical Expert at the International Standardization Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 42, responsible for the development of international standards on AI issues.
Mr. Tsiurtos presented the European legal framework, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2023 and will define the risk levels that fall under AI systems and the strict requirements that will be imposed on providers and users of AI applications, as well as on the entire supply chain. Reference was also made to AI systems which will be considered by the European regulation as 'high risk' and will have to undergo a conformity assessment before they can be placed on the European market.
Mr Duessen presented the role of the International Technical Committee for Standardisation ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 42 and the holistic approach to the development of standards in the field of AI.
In addition, reference was made to the international standard ISO/IEC 42001: Artificial Intelligence Management System, which has the potential to be implemented by organizations that have AI software for internal use or provided to customers.
At the conclusion of the webinar, the importance of the standards was noted both in the creation of the Cypriot ecosystem and in the creation of technical standards for AI security issues, as this technology is expected to be universally applied in all sectors of modern industry and in the services of citizens which are used on a daily basis.
