ETSI Event 2024 Notice - Artificial Intelligence Conference: Status, Implementation and Way Forward of AI Standardization

 The ETSI Artificial Intelligence (AI) Conference - Status, Implementation and Way Forward of AI Standardization, will take place face-to-face on 5th - 7th February 2024 in ETSI, Sophia Antipolis, France. #ETSI_AI_Conf

Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) technology has made major advancements in recent years and is becoming a key enabler for new disruptive features and applications in any digital product.

This face-to-face event will offer attendees the unique opportunity to come together to exchange with experts, network with peers, visit the demos and posters around the subject of Machine Learning with a specific focus on Information and Communications Technology (ICT).

AI/ML will fundamentally shift the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry, as technologies such as Natural Language Processing, Deep Learning, and others will enhance the performance of communications, applications, content, and digital commerce.

Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning are already part of the networks and services, and are present across multiple sectors such as finance, manufacturing, medical, telecommunications and transportation. AI Chatbots and AI voice assistants are widely deployed in society. Still this field is quickly evolving and the event will provide an opportunity for experts to have insights into the latest developments.

Europe and other regions are drafting policy and legislation which will impact the deployment of artificial intelligence. In the context of the draft AI Act, the EU puts forward objectives including:

  • “ensure that AI systems placed on the Union market and used are safe and respect existing law on fundamental rights and Union values";
  • "facilitate the development of a single market for lawful, safe and trustworthy AI applications and prevent market fragmentation”.

Attendees will learn about the latest status and will have the opportunity to meet and discuss with experts in this field. 

The event will present the regulations in the different regions of the world and will provide the opportunity to get involved in standardisation that will play an important role in the context of European and global regulation. It will also discuss corresponding new market access requirements, conformity assessment, etc. Additionally, the event will be an opportunity for research organisations (academia and industrial research) to discuss new trends and features in the field of AI.

The conference will build on available work in the domain of AI. ETSI’s experts will present published and ongoing work on cybersecurity, testing of AI, trustworthy AI, sustainable AI, applications of AI for verticals and many more.

Demonstrations and Posters on the latest advances in the field of AI/ML applied to ICT systems and applications will complement the conference programme: 

The Programme Committee is calling for original submissions on the following topics:

  • Latest technological advancements in the field of AI/ML applied to Information and Communications Technology (ICT);
  • Disruptive technology trends and future applications of AI/ML;
  • AI/ML components in ICT systems including but not limited to wireless communications;
  • AI/ML for vertical applications including eHealth, Public Safety, Media and Entertainment, Aeronautics, network automation and management and/or Automotive;
  • Generative AI/Large languages models/foundation models;
  • Cybersecurity for AI/ML;
  • Sustainability of AI/ML and AI/ML for improved sustainability;
  • AI/ML in the context of societal challenges;
  • AI/ML supporting the United Nations sustainable development goals;
  • Standardization activities related to AI/ML;
  • Approaches for test, validation and conformity assessment of AI/ML requirements;

Balancing functionality, usability and security in design

Image
Introduction When designing new devices or applications there is a requirement nowadays to consider there functionality, usability and security. While there has been a push through secure-by-design guidelines for security to be built-in from the beginning there are still gaps in implementation and part of these gaps are design considerations of functionality and usability. Part of this that doing security well is hard work, but it should never block useful functionality for the user. Ideally, when security interferes with key software capabilities, the security must be tweaked. The answer should never be to abandon the functionality and certainly not to abandon the security. Though achieving this balance is admittedly not straightforward. This blog post will aim to look at this triad and how they can be balanced and not compromise each other. Defining the Triad in design A triangle can be used to help explain the relationship between the concepts of security, functionality and ea

Personal Interest - Unbuilt fleets of the Royal Navy

Image
Introduction Throughout the 20th Century the Royal Navy designed and examined different types of fleets that were never realised either due to budget constraints, arms treaties or the changing nature of war. These are only a few examples of the different types of unbuilt fleets. Some of these had prototypes built and tasted for the Royal Navy which would serve as technological testbeds.

Washington Naval Treaty (WNT) The  Washington Naval Treaty  was a treaty signed during 1922 among the major nations that had won  World War I , which agreed to prevent an  arms race  by limiting naval construction. It was negotiated at the  Washington Naval Conference , held in  Washington, D.C. , from November 1921 to February 1922, and it was signed by the governments of the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Italy, and Japan. It limited the construction of  battleships ,  battlecruisers

Personal Interest - RAF Unbuilt Projects

Image
  Introduction This blog post looks at the different groups of cancelled RAF projects. It will focus on the 50s, 60s, 90s/00s and a brief look at hypersonic research projects. While these projects were often cut or cancelled for budget or austerity reasons, they were also pushed by the changing nature of warfare firstly from conventional style WW2 warfare to the predicated quick, short scale nuclear war which was expected from 1947 to 1989. Later from the 90s and into the 21st Century a change from state on state conflict to facing insurgencies, counter-terrorism and peacekeeping missions again led to a change in how wars are fought. Though the work and research done on these projects would rarely go to waste with it being used and applied in other projects and works even if sometimes it could take another ten or twenty years before anything operational came of that work. There won't be large amounts of text explaining or exploring the designs there are far better sources for th
