Description
In July 2024, the European Union adopted the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act. To facilitate the implementation of the legislation and compliance with it, the European Commission also requested the development of European standards to support it. The training will explore the AI standardization landscape and its links with the proposed regulatory framework. Particular attention will be given to the work of the European standardization committee, CEN/CLC JTC 21 - Artificial Intelligence, which is responsible for the development of these standards. In addition, the training will cover certain international standards, which are also considered in this frame.
