ETSI encourages the constant flow of SME requirements and innovation into
the ETSI work programme.
• ETSI has at Board level a reserved seat for a SME member
• 26% of ETSI members are SMEs and the ETSI ISG groups have
even higher % from University & SME
ETSI created a dedicated Department New and Emerging Technologies for:
• Optimising the relations/links to research and innovation entities both in Europe and
globally,
• Tracking the evolution of new and innovative technology trends that may be of
potential interest for standardization in ETSI,
• Working with ETSI members (existing & new) capture & build
the potential new technology areas in ETSI

See also https://www.etsi.org/research and https://www.etsi.org/research/getting-involved
Match your topic with ETSI Working Groups (virtual meetings e.g. weekly/monthly)
• Contact the chair or any members you know, to understand better where it fits
If your organisation is not an ETSI member, contact the Group chair for a guest timeslot
• Upload a presentation ppt at least 3 days in advance, with copyright form.
• This gives ETSI copyright permission to re-use text and/or figures in later specs,
so take care of 3rd party ©! No IPR transfer is implied. If work is EC-funded, attribute!
Target your presentation to the audience
• Aim to get “Action items”. Discover who could help integrate the work in the Group?
• Note: Many guests give up when Group does not immediately agree to do lots of work. Note: Hearts & Minds!
Attend later relevant meetings to understand how your work could fit better
• Biggest issue is, “What would need to change in Specs, to integrate your idea?”
© ETSI 2021 15Typical life-cycle of a Specification (6-18 months)
1) Contribution(s) to explain idea(s)
2) Gather supporters
3) Get a New Work Item agreed (needs 4 members
promising work, including 1 Rapporteur)
4) Agree an Early Draft (basically Table of Contents, Maybe
gets changed a lot afterwards) you start
here!
5) Agree a Stable Draft (all main ideas are “in”, or
sometimes “out”). Lots of contributions needed?!
6) Agree a Final Draft (only typos remain)
7) EDIT-Help in ETSI checks formalities, it is approved
and published. As a TS v1.1.1 !
© ETSI 2021 16Opportunities for SMEs joining ETSI for AI work
(1) Free overview of state-of-the-art in related standards
(2) Input your requirements into ongoing/future specifications!
(3) Influence specifications or deployments to use your favourite method(s)
• Many specifications define results and interfaces, not the underlying methods
• Whitepapers and guidelines can point to methods which are faster/better
• Example: AI is referenced in spec, but algorithms not specified.
• e.g. Explainable-AI is needed for non-human-centric applications in network operation
(AKA “… the AI downgraded bandwidth on our biggest customer at peak time! Why??!”
(4) Use your new technology/method as basis of a whole new ecosystem
• e.g. Research on AI ontology-matching could revolutionize IoT BigData sharing
• e.g. Research on encryption could revolutionize digital banking and finance

ETSI considers Artificial Intelligence … from the basics
• Terminology : vocabulary of technical terms in the particular field of AI
• Use cases: descriptions showing how AI enables or impacts a given functionality, service or test (including
from a user’s perspective)
• Impact of EU ethics guidelines: analyses how EU guidelines for AI could, should or shall impact
specifications or the standardization processes and the deployment of AI
• Trustworthiness & Explainability of AI: methods to enable humans to trace and interpret the reliability of
AI results and also provide a human-understandable approximation of the causes of AI responses
• Security/privacy: functionality enabling restricted access to some data or services and potentially also
ensures privacy of data/service and its meaning in a selected small group
• Architectures and RPs: descriptions of how (and at what reference points) various AI functional elements
interact with each-other and/or with other systems
• Management of AIs: orchestration and full life-cycle of AI components i.e. how they are selected,

OCGAI(21)000003r2 19ETSI considers Artificial Intelligence … to the testing • DataSet requirements and quality: specifications to ensure that data elements entering AI systems can be correctly interpreted • Interoperability: ability of a system or component to integrate and interwork with other component(s) or system(s) such that the interaction between the entities fully delivers the service described by the interface specification governing the interaction • Test methodology and systems: means for executing the set of test cases that must be executed against a Component Under Test (CUT) or System Under Test (SUT) in order to pass verdicts on its functionality • KPIs and conformance: measurable Key Performance Indicators to assess behaviour of the system, as well as conformance tests to determine whether the expected behaviour and performance criteria are met • System maturity assessment: means of evaluation of stages in the introduction of AI systems, considering multi-dimensional criteria, scores, KPIs, etc. to evaluate the AI application and system, starting from systems with no AI and ending with fully AI-driven systems. © ETSI 2021 20
Artificial Intelligence and future directions for ETSI (WP#34)
ETSI aims to handle specific needs for AI:
• to harness AI for optimization of ICT networks,
• to include ethical requirements in AI usage
e.g. for eHealth, privacy/security
• to ensure reliability through appropriate testing
of systems using AI,
• to overcome some AI-related security issues, and
Basics
• to better manage and characterize data,
including from IoT systems, that is used by AI.
