Research Tools: AI Standards Exchange Database

From AI For Good/ ITU Website:

Access and search a broad spectrum of AI standards from World Standards Cooperation – IEC, ISO and ITU and other global standards development bodies. The database provides access to more than 700 AI standards and related technical publications that have been published or are under development by global standards development organizations. The AI standards Database is not only a listing of standards from each standards development body but also categorizes AI standards by industry vertical, identifying the automation of the relevant human activity by the AI system (Human AI- Activity areas) and the applications and usage of the AI standard.

From the FAQ

The AI Standards Exchange Database provides information about the following types of AI publications:

1. International standards
2. National Standards
3. Technical reports
4. Technical specifications
5. Technical papers
6. Guides
7. Other publications

The AI publications themselves are not stored in the AI Standards Exchange Database. The AI Standards Exchange Database provides a link to the webpage where a publication can be downloaded or more information about the publication’s availability can be found (e.g. online purchase or other means).

The following metadata is used for AI-related publications and can be grouped under three main categories:

1. General information about the publication (i.e. Title, standards body issuing the publication and relevant technical group, abstract, date published, status, URL, etc.)
2. AI use (industry vertical, human AI activity, application area, use case description and URL)
3. Other attributes (e.g. open source, standard/publication, repository, etc.).

The AI use category metadata classifies AI publications by industry vertical, human AI activity, application area of interest, and information on use cases implemented (with URL).

Standards bodies are responsible for providing the metadata about their AI publications. Each standards body assigns a focal point tasked with providing the metadata concerning the AI publications by coordinating with the technical groups concerned. ITU provides the focal point of each standards body with access to the AI Standards Exchange Database to add and modify the metadata as necessary to keep it up to date.

ITU is establishing a Standards Exchange Database Coordination Committee for the governance and taxonomy for the classification of AI-related publications.
