Standards for a Better World
According to Seizo Onoe, Director of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Bureau, the world needs trusted technical standards more than ever, based on broader participation than ever before.
Standards capture consensus on technologies for a better world
Standards provide a common understanding about technologies, including how to build, use, interconnect, and keep them safe and sustainable. They serve as a shared language, enabling innovation, investment, and international business.
Seizo Onoe emphasizes that standards must deliver confidence and trust, particularly as powerful technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum are developed and applied.
Author's summary: Standards promote global consensus on technology.
