    AI governance frameworks are multiplying. Impact assessment requirements are entering law. But between a legal obligation to assess an AI system and the practical capacity to do so, there is a gap.  And for most governments, that gap is significant.

    This workshop addresses that gap directly.

    Bringing together senior representatives from IEC, ISO, leading international AI governance bodies, and development institutions, this session asks a practical question: what does it actually take to assess the impact of an AI system in the real world – and how can international standards make that possible?

    The session introduces a joint initiative to demonstrate, through a real-world pilot, how established international standards can serve as the operational bridge between rights-based AI assessment methodologies and their implementation by governments, regulators, and public authorities. For countries building AI governance capacity, this matters enormously. Standards offer a ready-made, internationally recognized framework that reduces the cost and complexity of implementation, without requiring governments to start from scratch.

    The workshop moves through three connected stages.

    • A high-level policy panel will set out the strategic rationale, drawing on the priorities of international AI governance frameworks.
    • Followed by an expert session to show what a standards-based impact assessment looks like in practice, including a perspective from a government already working at this frontier.
    • The session will close with a structured, facilitated exercise in which participants are invited to reflect on what they have heard and signal which elements of AI impact assessment are most relevant to their own context. Those responses will directly shape the design of the pilot project.

    This is a working session, not merely a talk. Governments and organizations interested in contributing a real-world AI use-case to the pilot are especially encouraged to attend.
