According to ITU's Seizo Onoe, the world needs trusted technical standards more than ever, based on broader participation than ever before.
Seizo Onoe, Director of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Bureau, states that standards provide a common understanding about technologies, including how to build, use, interconnect, and 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.
This shared language is essential for innovating, investing, and doing business internationally.
