ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42

ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42 Artificial Intelligence is a standardization subcommittee of the Joint Technical
Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1 of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).[1] ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42 develops and facilitates the
development of international standards, technical reports, and technical specifications within the fields of
Artificial Intelligence (AI).[2] The international secretariat of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42 is the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI), located in the United States of America. The Chair of SC 42 is Wael
William Diab.[3] The first meeting of the committee took place in Beijing, China in April 2018.[4] SC 42
meets face-to-face twice a year in an opening and closing plenary format with its subgroups meeting
concurrently during the week. SC 42 organizes bi-annual AI workshops that target all stakeholders
interested in AI and the committee's work.[5]
