Standards > charting courses for AI development and deployment

Quote from Video

It's also very clear that this is powerful technology that's going to have a very major impact which we're very intense to sort of think thoughtfully about. I think standards are going to play an incredibly important role in charting our courses.

Standard > agreed upon and repeatable way of doing something useful

Quote from Video

There's also in concept, you know, a standard is just an agreed upon and repeatable way of doing something useful essentially. And this is something that we as a civilization have been doing for a long time.

Internet protocols (HTTP, URL) > communication between disparate computer systems

Quote from Video

It's like I let's just say I've never met you, you've never met me, but we both know that if we use internet protocol, if we use hypertext, then our computers can talk to each other, you know, before we even meet. In the early days of the internet, obviously the internet was just computers being connected to each other with a pipe, but there was no standardized way for them to communicate.

Subject

Encryption layer (HTTPS) > the internet-enabled economy

Quote from Video

But then you obviously you developed this um encryption layer HTTP becomes HTTPS and you're able to share encrypted information in a much more secure way and that's basically what kicks off a whole boom around the internet enabled economy.

Subject

Standards > protectionism

Quote from Video

But also standards could be a form of protectionism. You could basically say like we want to have local champions. We don't want to be obliterated by a General Electric or a Westinghouse and so we're going to come up with these alternative technical standards.

Subject

ISO > standards

Quote from Video

You have these multistakeholder working groups that in quite a deliberate and structured process will review a proposal carry it forward put it out for opportunities to comment vote on it and then sort of either based on on consensus... eventually over the course of yeah often sort of 12 to 24 months come up with a a new standard.

Subject

AI standards development > development speed

Quote from Video

Now, it is interesting when you think about the speed with which AI is developing because this is a technology that is covered an enormous amount of ground over the next couple of years... it's very likely that the what AI can do and the way it's going to be applied in the world will change in the coming years.

Subject

AI development capabilities > world application

Quote from Video

I think it's very likely um that the the sort of the the what AI can do and the way it's going to be applied in the world will change in in the in the coming years. It's also quite a new technology.

Subject

Google DeepMind > open source standards

Quote from Video

What the agent to agent standard does is essentially have like a a standardized clipboard of information that two agents will share with each other as they come together. We've contributed this as an open source standard that we think is useful to solve this particular problem.

Subject

Frontier Model Forum > leading AI companies

Quote from Video

I mentioned the Frontier Model Forum. This is an industry group that that we help set up that the other leading Frontier AI companies are in.

Subject

Frontier Model Forum > knowledge exchange

Quote from Video

I mentioned the Frontier Model Forum. This is an industry group that that we help set up that the other leading Frontier AI companies are in. Really useful to be able to sort of exchange um knowledge and understanding of these uh of these developing practices.

Subject

EU AI Act > harmonized standards

Quote from Video

The AI act as you mentioned cross reference cross references what are known as harmonized standards. So European standards um that are going to be developed to underpin the various different layers of the the air regulation high-risk systems and then also at um the model layer.

Subject

Technical standards > AI interoperability

Quote from Video

I think you're going to need to develop these technical standards to have the interoperability unlock for the AI world, for the agentic economy in the same way that we had there for the the internet era.
