AI Standards for Global Impact: From Governance to Action

To ensure clarity, coherence, and impactful AI standards, standards developers should focus
on four key elements:

• Translation (turning principles into practical standards through collaboration)
• Structure (a systematic approach to capacity building and quality digital infrastructure)
• Inclusion (broad participation and equal voices in decision-making)
• Connection (engaging diverse stakeholders, governments, and organizations to address
real-world needs)

Amandeep Singh Gill, Under-Secretary-General and Special Envoy for Digital and Emerging
Technologies, Office for Digital and Emerging Technologies, United Nations – "We need
to connect AI governance discussions with international efforts, such as the International
Independent Scientific Panel, the policy dialogue on AI within the United Nations, and future
initiatives like the upcoming International AI Standard Summit in Seoul."

Sung Hwan Cho, President, ISO - “Inclusion and diversity are at the core of international
standards’ goal. We have to ensure no one is left behind. AI standards should cover technology,
but also how AI benefits humanity.”
