Technical Standards Bodies Hope to Deliver AI Success with Ethical Development Practices

Three major international technical standardization bodies are working to introduce ethical considerations into their standards, with the release of four guiding principles.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) last week launched the Seoul Statement at an event in South Korea.

This statement is aimed at advancing the development of safe, inclusive, and effective international standards for AI. These standards, the bodies revealed, should reflect global needs, support regulatory alignment, and foster interoperability, trust and inclusion.
