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.
Standards must deliver their key value – confidence and trust – far and wide, especially as we develop and apply increasingly powerful technologies in areas like artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum.
