Defining AI Standardisation
Technical Dimension
The standardisation process involves technical benchmarking that tracks the evolution of AI technologies and their various use cases, ensuring systems meet specific performance and quality criteria.
Legal-Ethical Framework
Standards incorporate legal and ethical considerations, including privacy, fairness, and data quality principles, while avoiding rigid or absolutist implementation that could hinder market innovation.
India's AI Story is Different.
While data and machine learning algorithms are governed with different culturally amenable policy contexts, India's AI landscape is still emerging, and nascent.
India has the potential to contribute to the Indo-Pacific, and the Global South, not as an 'AI Garage' but as an AI Forge.
Regulatory capture, subterfuge and arbitrage haunt current and future AI builders, at every stage, maybe because of incumbent market hype cycles, technology bubbles, lack of technical clarity, unstable use cases, and anticompetitive practices.
This is why AI standardisation is needed, to achieve pre-regulatory standards, which could be legal, technical, or domain / sector-specific.

About the Summit
The Summit is the Annual Meeting of the members of the Indian Society of Artificial Intelligence and Law, a non-profit industry body, representing concerns of law, technology and policy professionals, MSMEs and start-ups in India on the regulation & development of artificial intelligence in India.
We hold meetings and networking conversations on the standardisation of artificial intelligence technologies in India, with a pan-India and Indo-Pacific outlook. Since 2020, ISAIL has conducted this conference to apprise of a network of genuine legal, technology & policy entrepreneurs, professionals and specialists and contribute to dehyphenated, and genuine technology policymaking for Bharat.
AiStandard.io Roundtables
In the 2026 edition, we intend to host a set of AiStandard.io Roundtables, and an AI Now Pavillion to showcase India’s AI startups and companies, bringing them to Lucknow, envisioned by the State Government of Uttar Pradesh as an AI City under the G20 Presidency of India in 2023.
The Roundtables organised under the initiative of the AiStandard.io Alliance (also known as the AI Standardisation Alliance) by ISAIL intends to bring stakeholders:
-
Who have researched or developed AI technologies beyond the ideation stage;
-
Who have expertise in AI law and policy across social, governance, individual, or business domains;
-
Who are domain experts in their respective fields and can assess AI's impact on democratisation, commercialisation, and broader societal implications within their areas of expertise.
