Thanks to funding from the European AI & Society Fund (EAISF), ANEC has been able to launch a new AI Taskforce for consumer professionals. The AI Taskforce was created early February and has 9 members from 8 countries (Austria, Germany, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Netherlands, Greece, Spain and Italy).
The Taskforce aims to provide capacity building on AI standardization and prepare its members to become active at the national level in the mirror committees of CEN-CLC JTC21 on AI, developing standards for the AI Act.
The kick-off meeting was organized on 28-29 April in Brussels. Members appreciated the training event and the opportunity to exchange with representatives from the European Commission’s AI Office and from CEN and CENELEC.
As a follow up, the AI Taskforce will join the ANEC AI experts in drafting comments on AI standards for use at national level.
