<p>The AI Standards Hub pilot aims to grow UK contributions to global AI standards
development. As outlined in the National AI Strategy, the UK is taking a global approach
to shaping technical standards for AI trustworthiness, seeking to embed accuracy,
reliability, security, and other facets of trust in AI technologies from the outset.</p><p>The
pilot follows the launch of the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation’s (CDEI) ‘roadmap
to an effective AI assurance ecosystem’, which is also part of the National AI Strategy.
The roadmap sets out the steps needed to develop world-leading products and services
to verify AI systems and accelerate AI adoption. Technical standards are important
for enabling effective AI assurance because they give organisations a common basis
for verifying AI.</p><p>Alongside the AI Standards hub pilot and AI assurance roadmap,
the government, via the National AI Strategy, has committed to undertake a review
of the UK’s AI governance landscape, and publish an AI governance white paper. AI
Standards, assurance, and regulation can be mutually complementary drivers of ethical
and responsible AI.</p><p>The Alan Turing Institute is leading the AI Standards Hub
Pilot, supported by the British Standards Institution and National Physical Laboratory.
The pilot is expected to complete its initial activities by the end of 2022.</p><p>The
AI Standards Hub pilot will involve engagement and collaboration with industry and
academics. This includes a series of stakeholder roundtables being led by The Alan
Turing Institute.</p><p>Once the Hub pilot finishes, there will be a process to evaluate
and review its impact and determine the appropriate next steps.</p><p> </p>
