Global Standardization That Helps Power European Innovation
Across Europe, organizations and experts bring market experience, technical knowledge, and technology policy perspectives to IEEE Standards Association’s (IEEE SA) open, consensus-based global standardization environment. This long-standing engagement supports interoperability and contributions to standards, related programs, and other collaborative work that can be applied in Europe and around the world.
Celebrating 10 Years of Shaping Responsible AI
For a decade, the IEEE Global Initiative on Ethics of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems has brought together over 700 experts around the world to help ensure AI serves humanity through practical standards, certification, global collaboration, and real-world implementation.
The IEEE CertifAIEd Professional Series
The IEEE CertifAIEd Professional Series is a portfolio of stackable, IEEE-issued microcredentials for holders of the IEEE CertifAIEd AI Ethics Professional Certificate. Each microcredential extends the four IEEE CertifAIEd criteria (Accountability, Transparency, Privacy, and Algorithmic Bias) into a specific domain, technology shift, or regulatory regime.
Strategic Pillars for a Responsible Tech Future
As technology rapidly reshapes our global landscape, standardizing innovation with purpose is essential. IEEE SA brings global experts together to pioneer solutions across three interconnected pillars: driving environmental sustainability, embedding trust and security into digital systems, and accelerating critical emerging technologies that will power tomorrow’s world.
