ITU Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence for Autonomous and Assisted Driving
The ITU Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence for Autonomous and Assisted Driving facilitates collaboration between two United Nation agencies, the UNECE and the ITU, which aims to create a benchmarking framework to assess the accuracy of AI in Autonomous driving. The idea for the Focus Group came out of the Mobility Track of the 2019 AI for Good Global Summit.
Administratively, FG-AI4AD was created by ITU-T Study Group 16 which in turn is a statutory meeting of the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly. The secretariat is provided by the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau. It was created at the October 2018 meeting.
The Focus Group aims to assess the behaviour of AI systems performing the Driver tasks on our road. To build public trust it is fundamental that the performance of these AI-systems meets, or exceeds, the performance of a competent and careful human driver. The FG aims to create international harmonisation on the definition of a minimal performance threshold for these AI systems performing the tasks of a driver.
