India is taking a proactive approach to regulating artificial intelligence (AI) with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) developing comprehensive standards for AI applications. These standards aim to ensure responsible and ethical use of AI across various sectors, including healthcare, finance, and transportation.
The America Makes Standards Coordinating Body (AMSC) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) have released a progress report on industry gaps in additive manufacturing (AM). The report, published in 2016, identified 141 standardization gaps and corresponding recommendations across the AM lifecycle areas of design, materials, process control, and more. Of these gaps, 54 are considered high priority, 64 medium priority, and 23 low priority. The report also notes that additional pre-standardization research and development is needed in many cases. The AMSC was launched in 2016 and serves as a cross-sector coordinating body that works to accelerate the development of industry-wide AM standards and specifications. The next gaps progress report is expected to be issued in the fall.
