On 5 December 2022, the European Commission published a draft request on Artificial Intelligence standards. The request is directed at two European standardisation organisations, the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) and the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC). Notably, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has only been included in a consulting role. According to the draft, the two organisations would be required to adopt ten standards, specifically on risk management, dataset quality, logging capabilities, transparency, human oversight, robustness, cybersecurity, quality management and conformity, by 31 January 2025. The organisations are asked to pay specific attention to fundamental rights and disability rights, as well as to the possibility for SMEs to conform to the proposed standards.
