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 provide a common understanding about technologies – whether it’s about how to build them, how to use them, how to interconnect them, or how to keep them safe and sustainable.
Seizo Onoe emphasizes that standards must deliver confidence and trust, especially as we develop and apply powerful technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum.
ITU's standards capture consensus on technologies for a better world, enabling innovation, investment, and international business.
Author's summary: ITU promotes trusted technical standards for global innovation.
