Status of Active Consumer Technology Association Projects

Anyone, except a member of the press, is eligible to join a CTA standards committee. For members of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)® there is no charge to participate in CTA standards activities. For companies or individuals who are not members of CTA there is an annual fee for participation in CTA standards activities.

Review the different standards committees below and the projects they are actively working on that you can get involved with.

Get Involved

Accordion

• CTA's Artificial Intelligence Committee develops standards, recommended practices and technical reports related to artificial intelligence technologies. All are encouraged to join the Artificial Intelligence Committee and get involved in its activities. The Artificial Intelligence Committee is particularly interested in adding new members (called "users" who acquire AI from those who create it) as well as those with a general interest.

  Artificial Intelligence Committee and its associated WGs are seeking volunteers for a variety of new work efforts. The committee is seeking interested parties categorized as Users (defined as members who acquire from Producers equipment or services to which the standards, bulletins or other documents apply) and General Interest [defined as neither Producers nor Users. This category may include regulatory agencies (i.e., state, federal), researchers, academia, other organizations and associations, and consumers].
