It is intended as a place to keep the community (OMG members and non-members alike) informed of the activities derived from OMG's 2019 initiative on Artificial Intelligence, and consolidated into a new Platform Task Force chartered in September of that year. It is focused on how we operate as a Task Force. The vision behind the AI PTF is to create and “animate” an OMG-based AI center, coordinating and complementing AI-related efforts in other groups (such as Ontology, Retail, Healthcare. and more) and especially considering aspects that can benefit from standardization – making OMG the place to come for AI technology standardization. Go to the Private Area Charter and History of the AI PTF Charter (adopted on 27 Sep 2019, revised on 13 Dec 2019) OMG’s Artificial Intelligence Platform Task Force (AIPTF) will promote the adoption of specifications that standardize foundational capabilities of artificial intelligence. Among the goals of the AIPTF is freeing AI technology suppliers as well as end users from interoperability and interchange limitations with respect to models, languages and data, and to enable them to focus instead on development of advanced AI applications. In the context of this charter, Artificial Intelligence is defined broadly and includes, but is not limited to: * Modeling of AI artifacts * Machine learning, deep learning and neural networks * Image understanding, speech recognition, and computer vision * Robotic systems * Virtual and augmented reality * Autonomous and autonomic systems and agents * Knowledge representations * Natural language processing (NLP) * Security, privacy, social and other ethical aspects of AI The purpose of the AIPTF includes development of foundational specifications that support AI in the above broad sense. The AIPTF may, when appropriate, generate discussion papers, RFIs or RFPs or recommend technologies for adoption. It will also collaborate with other OMG subgroups to identify and document use cases and interoperability requirements for AI, and identify the need for AI-related additions or revisions to those groups’ existing and emerging specifications. It will seek to identify external stakeholders, including other standards development organizations, and partner with them as needed. History The history of OMG's efforts related to AI can be summarized as follows: The Agent Platform SIG was created in (date). OMG's Board of Directors requested the development of an OMG AI standards strategy in March 2019. The development of that strategy was interrupted in May 2019 by NIST's issuance of a Request for Information on AI standards; the focus shifted to responding to the RFI, which was achieved in early June. At the June 2019 meeting, the Agent PSIG was expanded and transformed into an AI PSIG. The development of the AI strategy resumed and completed during the summer, leading to a paper adopted by the Board at the end of September 2019. Consistent with the strategy paper recommendations, the AI PTF held a formation meeting in September 2019 and was formally chartered. Considering that there were specific technologies in the agent domain that some members would like to work on without addressing the broader scope of AI, the Platform Technical Committee voted at the same meeting to re-charter the Agent PSIG. The charter was updated in December 2019 to clarify two of the scoping bullets, and to correct the omission of robotic systems.

Augmented Reality Enterprise Alliance (AREA) (Christine Perey) Torch.AI (Artem Beer, Jae Cha, Clayton Pummill) The Linux Foundation's Trusted AI Committee. It covers AI fairness, explainability, and robustness to adversarial attacks. IBM plays an active role in it, and IBM Research created three open source Python libraries for those topics (information received from Svetlana Levitan on 20 Jan 2020). The U.S. Department of (Defense Joint AI Center (Col. Doug Drakeley). prostep ivip (Rachel Bauer), which reports having the following focus areas related to AI: Standardization of ETL-processes – the Data Preparation for Data Analytics (DPDA) project Participation in the AI Marketplace consortium, aimed at creating a marketplace for industrial users and AI-Vendors Identification of most important use cases Identification of relevant tools, interfaces a.nd standards in product development and production, to ensure data provision for AI applications. Firepoint, an R&D consulting organization with a two-year contract to help the U.S. Army's Aviation and Missile Center (AvMC) examine the landscape of AI capabilities that could be leveraged (contacts: Logan Schraeder and Timothy Johnson). Mailing list OMG maintains a mailing list, ai@omg.org. To be added (or removed, or to change your address) please click here. We welcome great ideas, emerging AI technology, and new AI standards, bring your digital twin and join us! Scope of AI Technologies Work has started on an AI taxonomy. You can explore it visually here. An “AI metamodel” (this term has been critiqued, since it seems to be more of a taxonomy than a metamodel) of the range of technologies that are “in scope” for the AI PTF was proposed during the Agent PSIG meeting in June 2019 and is shown below (click on the figure to enlarge it). The left hand side of the diagram is more about knowledge representations, the right-hand side about AI capabilities or applications based on those representations.

A “call for papers” was issued in mid-January 2020 to solicit additional presentations. Potential Speakers at AI PTF Meetings Non-OMG Events Unite.AI maintains a list of conferences and exhibits of potential interest to members. The scope of their calendar entries extends to robotics and data science Note that any indications of a physical location in the coming months is highly subject to change until the COVID-19 pandemic is under control. Moreover, when an on-site conference is changed to a virtual one, the dates may also change. Those who attend any external AI-related event are strongly encouraged to share their notes through our mailing list of for posting on this wiki.
