Open Call Topics
Impact on SMEs (5th Open Call)
AI Providers both large and small need to do due diligence in relation to risks to fundamental rights. Assessment of those risks and risk controls will be pertinent to organisations of all sizes. High risk AI systems have the potential to result in impacts at scale, irrespective of the size of the organisation that puts it on the market or puts it into service.
Impact on society (5th Open Call)
This activity will contribute to making European and International AI standards that protects against unintended foreseeable risks to equality and fundamental rights and intentionally designs for the enhancement of equality and fundamental rights. Also, it supports increasing understanding and awareness of the impact of AI on affected individuals and groups in respect of their equality and fundamental rights with technology companies, national standards bodies, and notified bodies

Topic (5th Open Call)

Robots and robotic devices. Guide to the ethical design and application of robots and robotic systems

BS 8611 gives guidance on the identification of potential ethical harm and provides guidelines on safe design, protective measures, and information for the design and application of robots. BS 8611 builds on existing safety requirements for different types of robots; industrial, personal care, and medical. BS 8611 describes ethical hazards associated with the use of robots and provides guidance to eliminate or reduce the risks associated with them. Significant ethical hazards are presented, and guidance is given on how they are to be dealt with for various robot applications. Ethical hazards are broader than physical hazards. Most physical hazards have associated psychological hazards due to fear and stress. Thus, physical hazards imply ethical hazards, and safety design features are part of ethical design. Safety elements are covered by safety standards. BS 8611 is concerned with ethical elements
