Egypt, represented by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), is participating in the e-meeting of the Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Autonomous and Assisted Driving (FG-AI4AD), organized by the Telecommunication Standardization Sector of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T), on September 16-17.
The FG-AI4AD supports standardization activities for services and applications enabled by AI systems in autonomous and assisted driving. It will focus upon the behavioral evaluation of AI responsible for the dynamic driving task in accordance with the 1949 and 1968 Convention on Road Traffic of the UNECE Global Forum for Road Safety.
The Focus Group aims to create international harmonization on the definition of a minimal performance threshold for these AI systems (such as AI as a Driver).
The ITU was established in 1865. It is a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN), responsible for all matters related to ICTs, and is one of the oldest international organizations in operation.
