Proposed Group: AI-Driven Web Standards Specification Community Group
The AI-Driven Web Standards Specification Community Group has been proposed by Paola Di Maio:
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.
You are invited to support the creation of this group. Once the group has a total of 5 supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work. In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account.
Once launched, the group will no longer be listed as “proposed”; it will be in the list of current groups.
If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org
Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
