ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42 Artificial Intelligence is a standardization subcommittee of the Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1 of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).[1] ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42 develops and facilitates the development of international standards, technical reports, and technical specifications within the fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI).[2] The international secretariat of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42 is the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), located in the United States of America. The Chair of SC 42 is Wael William Diab.[3] The first meeting of the committee took place in Beijing, China in April 2018.[4] SC 42 meets face-to-face twice a year in an opening and closing plenary format with its subgroups meeting concurrently during the week. SC 42 organizes bi-annual AI workshops that target all stakeholders interested in AI and the committee's work.[5]

History

edit

At the 32nd ISO/IEC JTC 1 Plenary in Vladivostok, Russia, Resolution 12 established SC 42 as a system integration entity for Artificial Intelligence. The resolution also appointed Mr. Wael William Diab as Chair of the SC and Ms. Heather Benko was appointed as the Committee Manager. The inaugural meeting was held in Beijing, China on April 18th – 20th.[4]

Scope

edit

The scope of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42 is:[8]

  • Standardization in the area of Artificial Intelligence
  • Serve as the focus and proponent for JTC 1's standardization program on Artificial Intelligence
  • Provide guidance to JTC 1, IEC, and ISO committees developing Artificial Intelligence applications

ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42 is set up as a Systems Integration Entity.
