The Artificial Intelligence Association of Latvia (MILA) has joined the Standardization Technical Committee LVS/STK 59 “Artificial Intelligence,” strengthening professional industry representation in the development and implementation of AI standards in Latvia. MILA is represented on the committee by its co-founder and board member, Gatis Romanovskis.
The Standardization Technical Committee LVS/STK 59 was established in November 2025 to ensure Latvia’s regular and active participation in the development of European and international standards in the field of artificial intelligence. The committee’s scope covers AI terminology, fundamental principles, systems, conformity assessment, as well as the management of ethical and societal aspects, promoting the adoption and practical implementation of these standards in Latvia.
MILA’s involvement in STK 59 brings practical experience into the standardization process, representing the perspective of AI solution developers and implementers. The association brings together industry experts whose knowledge is essential to ensure that standards are sustainable, responsible, and applicable to real-world business and public sector needs.
“Participation in the standardization technical committee provides an opportunity to actively contribute to shaping the framework for artificial intelligence development in Latvia, ensuring that standards align with both international requirements and the realities of practical implementation,” notes Gatis Romanovskis.
Iveta Mežinska, Head of the Standardization Department at the Latvian Standard (LVS), confirms that participation in a standardization technical committee enables stakeholders to contribute to the development of standard content, gain in-depth knowledge of standards under development and those already published, follow industry trends, and build professional connections with other experts.
Latvian Standard is the national standardization body that coordinates the work of standardization technical committees in Latvia. LVS/STK 59 is open to new members.
