our first AB position paper is out: https://www.w3.org/TR/llms-standards/

we tried to very briefly discuss LLMs in the standards process: where they could work and where they could be a problem, including guardrails to do it “responsibly”.

finding common ground in the AB is part of what we do and I'm glad our first attempt was published today!

Use of Large Language Models in Standards Work

As Large Language Models (LLMs) become increasingly synonymous with “AI”, and are used by people within our community, we want 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.

@hdv A colleague recently suggested that we could translate a German spec of a metadata profile to English with the help of LLMs in an afternoon. It took years, many meetings and involved several implementors to bring it into a good state. I found it both naive and disrespectful to think this could this easily be re-written by an LLM as a solid spec in another language.
