World Standards Day this year marked an additional milestone for Europe's AI ecosystem. The day coincided with the publication in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) of the Commission Implementing Decision citing the first harmonized standard in support of the AI Act: EN 18286:2026 'Artificial Intelligence – Quality management system for EU AI Act regulatory purposes'.
Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way we work, learn, and innovate. At the same time, its rapid development raises important questions about the skills and ethical foundations needed to use AI effectively and responsibly.
