NEW
YORK, June 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has opened
registration for its July
17th brainstorming session on enabling
artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) through
public-private partnerships. This session will focus on specific
opportunities and challenges related to AI/ML and explore the use
of public-private partnerships (PPPs) to share information and
identify priority standards development activities. ANSI's efforts
are performed under a grant from the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) to support the implementation
of the U.S. Government National Standards Strategy for Critical
and Emerging Technology (USG NSSCET).
The session will take place at the Association for the
Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI), 901 N. Glebe Road,
Suite 300 Arlington, VA 22203.
ANSI encourages interested organizations to have at least one
representative attend in-person; however, limited remote
participation is also available. Registration is requested by
July 10th.

AI is not just one technology, but a variety of software and
hardware enabling technologies (machine learning, deep learning,
knowledge representation) that can be applied in various ways in a
potentially unlimited number of applications, ranging from
manufacturing to financial services, and health care to
transportation. This discussion-based session welcomes perspectives
from a variety of stakeholders, including industry, standards
development organizations, government, and academia, and others
about:
- opportunities and challenges associated with AI/ML in
healthcare and manufacturing;
- how PPPs could accelerate AI/ML general and
application-specific standards development and technology
integration into the marketplace;
- the relationship between standards readiness and relevant types
of PPPs.
There is a longstanding recognition in the U.S. that standards
are a building block for U.S. innovation, competitiveness,
security, and quality of life. This fact has been formally
recognized in U.S. law and policy, as well as in the United
States Standards Strategy (USSS), and the USG NSSCET.
The private-sector-led U.S. standardization system
is one of the most wide-reaching,
inclusive, and impactful public-private partnerships in
our nation's history. As the USSS and USG NSSCET are
implemented, and as partnerships grow, it is important to
understand what has worked in the past, what options are on the
table, and how to navigate standards development together.
"As the coordinator of the private-sector led U.S.
standardization system, ANSI is excited to explore how
standards-driven public-private partnerships can enable critical
and emerging technologies to successfully integrate into the
marketplace," said Mary Saunders,
Senior Vice President of Government Affairs and Public Policy.
ANSI is hosting a similar session on automated and connected
infrastructure July 30th
in Dearborn, MI. The results from
these discussions are anticipated to inform best practices and
identify considerations which could be applied more generally to
various CETs and leveraged by the broader research and standards
community. In September, ANSI plans to publish a publicly available
report of findings. You can find the more information about this
initiative on the ANSI website by clicking here.
