Description of Activities
I focus on the development of a new standard Work Model type (Technical Specification) that facilitates the consolidation, integration, and implementation of requirements, helping organisations comply with AI laws, regulations, and standards more effectively. The objective is to guide and support organisations on how to meet the multiple requirements imposed by laws, regulations, and standards on AI-based systems. The initiative will not create new requirements but will provide assistance and guidance to organisations on how to consolidate, integrate, implement and audit different sources of requirements
Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)
The AI-Compliance initiative aims to develop a new standard to help European organisations, especially SMEs, comply with complex AI-related laws, regulations and standards. This new standard will be especially valuable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) because these organisations often lack the internal resources, specialised staff, and structured processes necessary to implement regulatory environments.
SMEs frequently struggle to interpret legal and technical requirements, allocate time for implementation, and ensure ongoing adherence. A practical standard would provide a clear framework for implementation reducing the cost and effort of compliance.
Impact on SMEs (9th Open Call)
European small organisations (SMEs) and very small organisations (VSMEs) do not have the experts or economic resources to hire specialised AI consultants on compliance, so they must postpone the application of AI in their businesses. This generates a new delay in their innovation gap. The main opportunity for SMEs-VSMEs is their incorporation to a future AI-Compliance collectives: sectorial cluster type, laboratory of a City Hall and other potential movements of knowledge collectivisation.
Creating a standard to guide organisations and SMEs to facilitate compliance for AI implementations reduce the risk of sanctions by regulatory authorities and facilitates confidence that the use being made of AI systems is ethical, moral and legal.
Impact on society (7th Open Call)
The European Union can push its values and ethics in AI without fear of crippling economic development by having a new standard to help with regulatory compliance. For the EU, it is primarily about finding ways to seize the opportunities offered by AI in a way that is human-centred, ethical, safe and consistent with our core values as Europeans.
Impact on society (9th Open Call)
A new standard supports consolidating, integrating and optimising regulatory requirements and make compliance audits more efficient will be essential for the development of AI in Europe, and thus of European industry and welfare. This new standard will enable European organisations to leverage the full potential of AI while ensuring compliance with the various mandatory requirements. In doing so, this standard will enhance the competitiveness of European organisations.
In this way, the new standard will open the door to the competitiveness of European organisations by making AI compliance more efficient. The pillars of the new guidelines standard are:
Converting different regulations and standards into a cloud of requirements.
Consolidate and integrate these requirements into a specific set.
To make the implementation of requirements more efficient.
Reduce the cost and organisational effort of regulation compliance.
Guidance on the management of specific requirements implementation projects.
Reduce and optimise the number of internal and external audits.
My fellowship also contributed to the development of working methodologies in organisations aligned with the objectives of the European AI Office and its ‘Regulation and Compliance’ Unit.
