The Informal Working Group on Artificial Intelligence will hold its tenth session on Thursday, 23 July 2026 from 13.30 to 15.30 CET online. The agenda includes adoption of the agenda and brief report of the ninth session, discussion of results of the June WP.29 session presentation, exchange of views on timeline for formal document submission to the June 2027 WP.29 session, discussion of status of the draft reference document in view of its transformation into a formal document, and consideration of upcoming meetings. The eleventh session is planned for Thursday, 3 September 2026.

The 9th session of the Informal Working Group on AI convened 3–4 June 2026 in London. Experts adopted the agenda and reviewed the consolidated draft reference document AI-09-06, which was substantially revised through two iterations (AI-09-06/Rev.1 and AI-09-06/Rev.2) before final submission to WP.29 as AI-09-06/Rev.3. Key modifications included limiting use cases in section 3 to driving functions, removing section 6 and the “other use cases” section, and incorporating lifecycle risks in sections 4 and 5. The IWG received a presentation on ISO/PAS 8800/2024 AI safety standards. A 1-year mandate extension was requested to submit a formal document for the June 2027 WP.29 session.

Proposal to reorganize the draft reference document AI-09-06/Rev.3 by moving the risk-by-risk management practices table to an annex, substantively revising Section 1 to emphasize document purpose rather than drafting history, substantively revising Section 2 to explicitly define the scope of AI uses in regulated automotive safety systems and distinguish different modes of AI use, revising Section 5 to replace risk-by-risk presentation with thematic discussion of recurring concepts in international standards and practice, and optionally adding a conclusion and further detailed annexes as needed.
