Standards in artificial intelligence play an essential role in ensuring that\u00a0AI\u00a0systems are compliant and have access to the market. Discover how they facilitate innovation and guarantee trustworthy\u00a0AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our society, but to ensure its responsible development, it is crucial to regulate its deployment. This is where AI standards<\/strong> come in, serving as an internationally recognized technical reference framework to ensure the transparency, robustness and security of AI systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike laws and regulations (hard law)<\/strong>, standards are voluntary<\/strong>, but they play a key role in the adoption of good practices on trustworthy AI,<\/strong> and effective technical solutions and methods to frame the deployment of AI and exchanges between the various market players. Among other things, they can facilitate compliance with the AI Act<\/strong>, promote innovation and ensure harmonized access to the European market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To better understand how\u00a0standards fit into the overall\u00a0AI\u00a0regulatory framework, explore our\u00a0full dossier on the\u00a0AI\u00a0Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Two organizations play a central role in the development of artificial intelligence\u00a0standards that cover the entire use of\u00a0AI\u00a0systems from design to use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0ISO and CEN work closely together to ensure consistency between global and European\u00a0standards.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n AI standards play an essential role in regulating the development and use of artificial intelligence systems (AIS). In particular, they make it possible to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, for example, there is the ISO 42001 standard,<\/a> system management of AI. It proposes a set of good practices to support organizations in the responsible and controlled use of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The AI Act<\/strong><\/a>, the European Union’s flagship regulation on artificial intelligence, is based on the application of harmonized standards<\/strong> (European harmonized standards on AI are European standards currently being developed on the basis of a request made by the European Commission in the framework of the AI Act). The latter confer on companies a presumption of conformity if they are published in the Official Journal of the European Union<\/strong>, facilitating their access to the European market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From\u00a0August 2026<\/strong>,\u00a0CE marking<\/strong>\u00a0will be\u00a0mandatory<\/strong>\u00a0for high-risk\u00a0AI\u00a0systems<\/a>. This marking certifies that the product complies with the requirements of the\u00a0AI\u00a0Act, thus strengthening the confidence of users and regulators. To prove their compliance and obtain the CE marking, high-risk\u00a0AI\u00a0systems will have to rely on harmonized\u00a0standards, which technically translate the essential requirements set out in the\u00a0AI\u00a0Act. In this sense,\u00a0AI\u00a0is treated as a product in the same way as other equipment regulated by EU law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Standards are a lever for the competitiveness of AI companies, especially for startups and SMEs that develop innovative solutions.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Standards in artificial intelligence are not just a regulatory constraint, they are a driver of innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The AI Act considers artificial intelligence as a product<\/strong> rather than a simple technology. This approach, similar to that used for other consumer goods (toys, building materials), introduces novel challenges in the drafting of standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, it guarantees:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The European Commission has asked CEN and CENELEC to draft harmonized technical standards in 10 areas that meet the essential requirements of the AI Act for high-risk use cases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These standards are essential to guarantee responsible AI and strengthen confidence in this technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The standards in AI<\/strong><\/a> are much more than a technical framework: they are a lever for market access<\/strong>, an innovation tool<\/strong>, and a guarantee of confidence for users and regulators<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Europe plays a key role in defining international AI standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AI players must prepare now for these developments to secure their innovations and guarantee their regulatory compliance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact our<\/a>\u00a0experts for personalized support and ensure the compliance of your\u00a0AI\u00a0solutions today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Standards in artificial intelligence play an essential role in ensuring that\u00a0AI\u00a0systems are compliant and have access to the market.
