The ongoing work “Mapping International Standards and AI Act” was proposed in 2024 by UNI TC 533 to CEN/CENELEC JTC21/AI (3 May, N632), with acknowledgement from the UK (20 May, N667) and presented during the plenary at the University of Bath (3-6 June, N691). Some aspects and examples were subsequently presented in JTC21 Working Groups (17 Sep. WG3 N454 – Bias); 18 Sep. WG4 N724 – Mapping); 25 Sep. WG1 N410 – Definitions); 27 Sep. WG2 N424 – Mapping).
On the basis of these premises, available for members of JTC21, the UNI TC 533 technical committee, with the hosting support of the AIopenmind.it association, has started this work, also agreed with UNINFO, with the aim of sharing the results with other TCs, Working Groups, Stakeholders.
– AI Act: 113 Articles, 180 Whereas, 13 Annexes (work in progress)
– 354 Mapped Terms connected with 54 Standards (work in progress)
– Data Act (work in progress)
– Data Governance Act (work in progress)
The automatic mapping and analysis of links aims to facilitate the research of definitions of terms, when not present in the AI Act. In general the clause 2-3 of the identified standards contain definitions of terms, outside for now in the main scope of this work. The activity of the human team of intuition of definition of terms is proving essential to meet the needs of JTC21 working groups.
The data presented have a value for research and not a legal value.(work in progress)

_____________________
The European Regulation AI Act sets out rules on artificial intelligence to promote the adoption of human-centric and trustworthy AI, while ensuring the protection of health, safety, fundamental rights, including democracy, environmental protection, and innovation.
Existing Standards developed for scientific purposes by standardization organizations, such as ISO, can help to support the application of the Union laws in terms of quality of processes, products, data and services.
In general, a single standard is not adequate to cover all requirements of an AI Act article and does not contain all the aspects needed for SR Standardization Requests. The integrations of AI Act and Standards are an opportunity to create harmonized legislative and technical documents to support the development and maintenance of AI systems.
Following the legislative principles of the EU AI Act, it is also possible to apply its implicit capability of categorization of existing standards. When possible, standards can be connected to the articles of the AI Act, based on the commonality of terms used in both texts. The connected standards can give practical and technical contributions to the applicability of aspects of legislative regulations.
This work in progress aims to give a comparative view among the contents of the AI Act articles and the standards, possibly facilitating the considerations for new proposals concerning harmonized EN standards. Furthermore, the applied method helps to find an alignment of terminology.
It is understood that what is reported in the AI Act, including aspects of directly related standards, is mandatory, while what is complementary in specific additional contents of standards, is voluntary.
The most common problem when comparing texts is the frequent use of synonyms or the use of the same terms with divergent meanings. To better clarify the concept and adopt a more precise classification criteria approach, it is interesting to consider that the situation of terminology is derived from the experience of the technical experts and the native language of people working in different committees and organizations.
It is also useful to reduce the risk of difficult interpretation of terms to distinguish at the origin the standards that contain them among: governance, management, process, product or service domains.
Another critical issue is the specificity of the combinations and the complementarity of some qualitative characteristics considered. With these limitations and promoting new AI solutions, readers can have a structured overview of the situation and gain cognitive benefits in standardization, research, learning and teaching.
The data presented have a value for research and not a legal value.(work in progress)
