Summary:
The project will enable you to expand your professional networks and investigate a real world challenge around Artificial Intelligence (AI) standards implementation. The student will be responsible for undertaking a literature review on AI standards (including foundational standards, measurement standards, process standards, and ethical and societal standards).
