Call for Participation in AI-Driven Web Standards Specification Community Group
The AI-Driven Web Standards Specification Community Group has been launched:
The mission of this group is to develop AI-driven tools and methodologies to support the creation, evaluation, and publication of web standards specifications. This initiative emerges from a TPAC 2025 breakout session and builds upon foundational work by the AI Knowledge Representation Community Group (AI KR CG), recognizing that the evolution of web standards development processes can benefit from thoughtful integration of artificial intelligence capabilities.
The web standards development process has evolved organically over three decades, relying primarily on human expertise, collaborative discussion, and iterative refinement. While this approach has successfully produced robust standards, it faces several contemporary challenges. Artificial intelligence systems have demonstrated capabilities in natural language understanding, technical documentation generation, pattern recognition, and systematic evaluation that could augment human expertise in standards development. This group plans to explore how AI can serve as a collaborative tool while preserving the essential human judgment, domain expertise, and community consensus that define legitimate standards work.
Vision: To develop open, transparent AI systems that augment human capability in web standards specification development, making the process more efficient, accessible, and robust while maintaining the integrity and consensus-driven nature of W3C standards.
In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account. Please note, however, that W3C Membership is not required to join a Community Group.
This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2025-11-17 by Paola Di Maio. The following people supported its creation: Paola Di Maio, Adam Sobieski, Sutida Kerdsuwan, JASON NOIPROM and Anuj Desai. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.
The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.
We invite you to share news of this new group on social media and other channels.
If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at site-comments@w3.org
Thank you,
