The Open Group, the vendor-neutral organization that has been at the forefront of open technology standards for 30 years, has begun the process of developing open standards for AI professional practice. Its AI initiatives have been already backed by prominent organizations, and The Open Group is looking for more organizations to get involved as AI continues to shape the future of enterprise technology.
As the premier Enterprise Architecture (EA) standards organization, The Open Group developed the TOGAF® Standard, that is recognized as the world’s leading EA methodology. It also has an unrivalled reputation for certification of people, processes, products, tools, and best practices, including its Open Professions Program – an experience-based certification program covering professional practice for Enterprise Architects, Technical Specialist, Data Scientists, and Trusted Technology Providers. Building on its expertise, reputation, and heritage, The Open Group intends to be a trusted facilitator for the future of professional practice standards in the context of AI-powered technologies.
The Open Group is leveraging existing professional practices for those architecting and training AI models, and working alongside practitioners, partners, and supporters who are willing to commit to the long-term challenge. The aim of the initiative is to ensure unbiased, positive, and representative progress of both the needs and outcomes involved. The list of participating member organizations can be found here.
