European standards group ETSI has launched a group to look at the latest developments in machine learning in the face of autonomous AI agents.
The proliferation of AI and autonomous agentic AI applications means data sharing patterns become more complex and require open infrastructures to address unprecedented interoperability requirements.
The dryly named Technical Committee on Data Solutions (TC DATA) is looking to encourage the adoption of new standards in line with the European Data Governance Act to address this.
“The widespread adoption of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning means we have reached a tipping point where data access through open and transparent frameworks is now more important than ever before,” said David Boswarthick, Director of Strategy and Innovation at ETSI.
TC DATA will provide a centre of expertise in data infrastructures, services, and applications, developing data solutions specifically designed to support services for IoT, telecommunications systems and networks.
More importantly for the embedded industry, it will also develop technical standards to support data interoperability and semantic interoperability.
Data representation and availability, data access control, data consistency and data privacy preservation are all fundamental aspects that need to be considered as data volumes and the need for cross-sector data sharing soars.
“The TC DATA is an important initiative designed to balance the technical needs of data interactions in a way that is also respectful of legal, ethical, and individual rights. Global collaboration is critical to develop standards that will enable data sharing that has reliability, privacy and security at its core,” said Boswarthick.
TC DATA will develop technical specifications to support the deployment and operation of distributed infrastructures for data collection, data sharing and data management.
“The adoption of data access frameworks by the telecommunications industry is a step forward in enabling the next generation of automation-driven information exchanges. The variety of use cases and the field of application of such work is extensive, so we are thrilled to have the opportunity to contribute to its success in ETSI,” said Diego López, convenor of the ETSI group.
The first phase will focus on telecom networks and services, which will see early use of AI agents. In a second phase the principles and specifications will be applied to AI agents used in other environments such as industrial applications, maritime transport, eHealth, agriculture and network management.
