IEEE P3152

New IEEE Standard - Active - Draft.
The purpose of this standard is to describe audio and visual marks to assist with the identification of the agency behind media or communications, such as a machine intelligence, a human being, or a combination of entities. The goal is to facilitate transparency, understanding, and trust during online, telephone, robotic, or other electronic interactions.

This standard describes recognizable audio and visual marks to assist with the identification of communicating entities as human or machine intelligence to facilitate transparency, understanding, and trust during online, telephone, or other electronic interactions. Interventions to discern whether an interaction is with a machine or not (such as a 'Turing Test') are not within the scope of this standard. This standard is concerned only about the declaration of the nature of the agency influencing an interaction.
The purpose of this standard is to specify the elements necessary to reliably convey information about the nature of an entity with which one is interacting, for a variety of contexts. This standard enables development of consistent audio and visual descriptions marks such as icons and chimes to denote the nature of an entity with which one is interacting, to prevent confusion or misapprehension as to the nature of an interaction, and to prevent manipulation of end user behavior.
