Description:
The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) established the new Technical Committee on Data Solutions (TC DATA) in February 2025. The committee's mission is to develop technical standards and specifications for distributed data infrastructures, services, and applications, with a strong focus on supporting European data regulations like the EU Data Governance Act and the data-related aspects of the EU AI Act. ETSI’s TC DATA aims to promote responsible data sharing, enhance privacy and security, and drive innovation in relevant data intensive technologies -namely advanced Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. With the proliferation of AI and in turn, agentic AI applications, means data sharing patterns become more complex and require open infrastructures to address unprecedented interoperability requirements. Data representation and availability, data access control, data consistency and data privacy preservation are all fundamental aspects that need to be considered as data volumes and the need for cross-sector data sharing soars.
