Purpose

A direct channel between the quality infrastructure and organisations shaped by AI.

As AI expands, organisations need credible, practical ways to demonstrate that AI systems and AI-enabled products meet relevant standards, regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations. The User Group brings the marketplace into the room.

Organisations shaped by AI

Developers, deployers, regulators, consumer bodies, trade associations and open-source communities bring practical experience into the room.
