AI is a fast-evolving technology that raises a number of ethical and technical issues. Constant developments and innovations mean that the development of a common set of standards is more important than ever.

Standards Australia is working with a range of countries on the development of AI Standards and has developed a roadmap that includes as a key goal ensuring that Australia can effectively influence AI standards development globally. The focus for the International Standards Organisation to date includes standards for data quality, reference architecture, concepts and terminology, functional safety and AI systems, risk management and trustworthiness and the use of ‘big data’ in AI.

We are involved in the development of standards for Australia through the NSW Government Chief Data Scientist.
