Standards are taking centre stage in global governance discussions. When countries gather in New Delhi for WTSA-24, they will have an opportunity to foster digital inclusion and trust — values that are more important than ever to ensure that innovation in fields like artificial intelligence, the metaverse, and quantum information technologies helps us create the future we want.

– Doreen Bogdan-Martin – Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union

We want safe, secure, and trustworthy AI that leads to a better life for all. The spirit of collaboration and consensus that powers standardization work is exactly the spirit needed to succeed.

–  Seizo Onoe – Director of the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau of the International Telecommunication Union

We need to reduce the fragmentation – weather it’s among UN agencies, governments or regional bodies – to ensure that we have standards that we can all comply with around AI governance 

–  HE Emma Inamutila Theofelus, Ministry of Information and Communication Technology, Namibia

International standards can be really instrumental for us to address global challenges and enable us to capture the opportunities, and in particular those emerging from AI 

– Sergio Mujica, Minister, Secretary-General at International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

“A sense of urgency that is one of the most important problem that we are facing in this era generative AI and a call to different standardisation organisation and ITU to help us coordinate and harmonize the different effort that play an important role in this important space.

– Alessandra Sala,  Sr. Director of AI and Data Science at Shutterstock

We are consensus-based so that these standards that we are producing are really reflecting global involvement of global communities

– Philippe Metzger, Secretary-General & CEO at International Electrotechnical Commision (IEC)
