The webinar is co-organised by JTC 21 Task Group Inclusiveness and the AI Standards Hub. It will provide a crucial opportunity for a wide range of stakeholders to learn about ongoing work within JTC 21, the committee responsible for developing EU AI Act harmonised standards, with a particular focus on the development of a European Norm (EN) on Risk Management. The session will discuss various efforts to broaden civil society input in the development of harmonised standards and safeguard equality and human rights considerations.
Implementation of key requirements within the EU AI Act – the world’s first comprehensive AI law that will become effective from August 2026 – will be supported by the development of European harmonised standards.
EU AI Act harmonised standards have implications for a wide range of stakeholders, including civil society. These standards will provide a legal presumption of conformity with the Act’s regulatory requirements, positioning them as crucial AI governance tools both within the EU and internationally.
