UK Launches AI Standards Hub — April 19, 2022
The UK government launched the AI Standards Hub, led by the Alan Turing Institute, BSI, and National Physical Laboratory to coordinate global AI standards engagement.
The hub provides a national focal point to help organisations understand and influence emerging AI technical standards. It offers training, community forums, and a catalogue of standards activity to improve adoption of trustworthy AI practices.
- Capacity building. The hub equips UK businesses and researchers with guidance on participating in ISO/IEC, IEEE, and other standards bodies.
- Knowledge sharing. It curates resources on AI assurance, data governance, and safety testing.
- Global influence. The UK aims to shape international AI norms while aligning domestic regulation with best practices.
Standards teams should watch hub outputs for early insight into assurance metrics and certification approaches.
