German Standardization Roadmap on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how our society works, learns, communicates, and consumes. The EU expects the economy to grow strongly over the next ten years supported by AI. For this to succeed and for artificial intelligence to work safely and reliably for us, standards are needed. 

Standards for AI

• strengthen trust in this technology and increase the acceptance of AI in business and society
• promote technology transfer – small and medium-sized enterprises in particular gain access to the global market with their innovations thanks to open interfaces
• describe technical requirements and thus contribute to the robustness and reliability of AI systems and at the same time support compliance with European values when using AI systems.

Standardization roadmap AI sets the course

The AI standardization roadmap shows which standards already exist around AI and in which areas there is still an urgent need for action. DIN and DKE have developed these together with the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) and together with 300 experts from business, science, politics, and civil society.  

The standardization roadmap AI is divided into seven main topics:

• Basics
• Ethics/Responsible AI
• Quality, conformity assessment and certification
• IT security (and safety) in AI systems
• Industrial Automation
• Mobility and logistics
• AI in Medicine
