Group Note: Use of Large Language Models in Standards Work

The Advisory Board has published Use of Large Language Models in Standards Work as a Group Note. As Large Language Models (LLMs) become increasingly synonymous with “AI”, and are used by people within our community, the Advisory Board wants to highlight considerations around different ways in which LLMs can be useful or problematic when it comes to leveraging them in standards work at W3C. This document summarizes the Advisory Board’s current thinking, as of 24 March 2026.
