Leveraging Artificial Intelligence
The OMG's Artificial Intelligence Platform Task Force (AI PTF) works to increase efficiency by leveraging the various facets of artificial intelligence. Well into the Digital Age now, in order to stay afloat, businesses must necessarily be capable of processing vast amounts of near real-time data efficiently and automate decision-making derived from actionable information. According to a recent study, AI has the ability to increase productivity by 40% and profitability by an average of 38%. According to the same study, 84% of business executives believe they need to use AI to achieve their growth objectives, while 76% acknowledge struggling with how to scale AI across their business. How will this automated AI decision-making transform the workplace, industry and world we inhabit? What transformative economic, legal, political and regulatory impacts will AI have on society? The AI PTF works towards a better understanding of how to utilize all AI aspects to streamline business.
Mission
Develop foundational specifications that support:
- Modeling of AI artifacts
- Knowledge representations
- Natural language processing
- Image and speech recognition and computer vision
- Robotic systems
- Virtual and augmented reality
- Advanced AI applications
- Machine and deep learning and neural networks
- Autonomous and autonomic systems and agents
- Security, privacy, social and other ethical AI impacts
NOTABLE DELIVERABLES:
- Artificial Intelligence and OMG Standards White Paper
An expanded scope of AI has emerged from the renaissance of the discipline since the beginning of the millennium. AI now reaches into many domains and integrates new technologies such as ontologies, vision recognition, analytics and machine learning for the industrial IoT, and more. AI standards will greatly accelerate and improve the creation of useful AI applications by reducing the amount of low-level interchange, integration or interfacing work currently required. - Artificial Intelligence and Cloud Computing
A discussion paper, initiated in the OMG Cloud Working Group, describing the synergies between these two important technologies
WORK IN PROGRESS:
- A Request for Proposal (RFP) for a neural network model interchange format or language specification.
- IEEE Standards Association P3123: AI PTF co-chair Claude Baudoin is ensuring liaison with this working group, which aims to define a comprehensive AI/ML terminology and a set of AI data formats. OMG is looking at creating a machine-readable version of the terminology using its MVF specification.
- Collecting input on AI standard needs. This consists of exploiting the results of the RFI issued by NIST in 2019, and issuing a new RFI to a broader international audience, taking into account the rapid evolution of AI in the intervening period.
- A discussion paper on AI Monetization is being written.
