SEG 10 comprises a group of experts whose purpose is to identify ethical issues and societal concerns regarding autonomous and AI applications relevant to IEC technical activities. As the SEG is an open forum, wider participation by the U.S. is encouraged either by providing information in the area of ethics on the U.S. national level or by participating in a Working Group (WG).
Participation by people outside of the typical IEC standards community, including social scientists, philosophers, academia, regulators, internet technology and operational technology experts, and end users are encouraged.
