“Artificial Intelligence”, the secretariat of which is held by DS.
This document is currently submitted to the vote on TR.

Introduction
This document aims to provide an overview of the relevant regulations in the European context and
connected international standards, paying particular attention to data governance and data quality
topics. Relevant regulations considered are:
— “Council of Europe” Ad hoc Committee on AI (CAI) that produced “Recommendation CM/Rec (2020)
of the Committee of Ministers to member States on the human rights impact of algorithmic systems”
and the deliverable “possible elements of a legal framework on Artificial Intelligence, based on the
Council of Europe’s standards on human rights, democracy and the rules of law” (2021) [1].
— “European strategy for data” (2020), which is essential to govern new technologies and create
business opportunities.
— “Artificial Intelligence Act” (2024 upcoming final version), which aims to ensure that AI systems
placed on the market and used in the EU are safe and respect fundamental rights. Attention is given
specifically to:
— Article 10 “Data and data governance” describing the quality criteria specifying aspects of
training, validation and testing of data sets.
— Article 15 “Accuracy, robustness, and cybersecurity” describing essential quality
characteristics that can be extended to a general data quality model; consistency between
terms and definitions is a common goal of this document, as well as of future TS and EN
standards.
— Articles where standard quality characteristics are mentioned (see Figure 5).
— “Data Governance Act” (2022) providing a framework aiming:
— to increase trust in data sharing across areas;
— to develop common European data spaces in strategic domains (e.g. health, environment,
energy, agriculture, mobility, finance, manufacturing, public administration;
— to strengthen mechanism to increase data availability and overcome technical obstacles to the
reuse of data.
— “Data Act” (2023): key elements include the reinforced data portability and data sharing, rules
governing the processing data shared, model contracts, access and use data held by private
companies, data and cloud interoperability, databases containing data from IoT, restriction on data
sharing.
— “Open data Directive” (EU 2019/1024): provides common rules for a European market for
government-held data, including the re-use of public sector information.
In addition, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and the Council on the protection of
natural persons about the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and
repealing Directive 95/46/EC – GDPR, it is also considered in this document. The General Data
Protection Regulation – GDPR, entered into force on May 2016, creates a harmonized set of rules
applicable to processing of all European personal data. The objective of GDPR is to ensure that personal
data enjoys a high standard of protection everywhere in the EU, increasing legal certainty for both
individuals and organizations proceeding data, a
