Key announcements made at the summit:

1. The new Global Initiative on AI for Food Systems led by ITU, the UN Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO), the World Food Programme (WFP) and the International Fund for
Agricultural Development (IFAD) to use AI to boost productivity, efficiency, and global
food security.
2. Two landmark resources on standards and policy considerations for multimedia
authenticity were released by the AI and Multimedia Authenticity Standardization
Collaboration driven by ITU, International Organization for Standardization (ISO),
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and other key standards communities.
The collaboration is advancing standards to detect deepfakes and verify multimedia
authenticity and provenance.
3. A new AI Standards Exchange Database to support cohesive standards development and
application. The database currently includes standards from ITU, ISO, IEC, the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF), and welcomes contributions from all AI standards communities. The database will
help standards developers to coordinate work and stakeholders to apply comprehensive
standards suites.
