International Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI-Related Standards Landscape: ISO, IEEE, ETSI, and ITU

To gain a complete understanding of the artificial intelligence (AI) international standards landscape (one form of soft law), we searched the four major international standard-setting bodies – ISO, IEEE, ITU, and ETSI – for AI and AI-related standards that were in development or published. These searches were carried out through keyword searches and snowball referencing from other datasets, such as the Alan Turing Institute's AI Standards Hub, and paper’s discussing AI standards generally or directly about one or more of three areas of focus. Once relevant standards were identified, they were categorized across nine areas: (1) reference ID; (2) name/title; (3) status (published, approved, in-development, etc.); (4) publication date (if applicable); (5) scope; (6) URL; (7) technical committee; (8) technical committee manager (if applicable); and (9) secretariat/country of secretariate (if applicable). These four major international standard-setting bodies slightly differ in their structure and standard development process which is why there are a handful of “if applicable” categories in this dataset. This dataset was last updated December 2023.
