High-Tech: The role of AI standards as an implementation tool

"We are looking at how AI systems can be created and operated in a sustainable
way, including their carbon impact. […] In the context of AI, we need to ensure that
electronically controlled products and systems remain reliable and trustworthy. […]
We are focusing on the characteristics, properties, and quality of data used in AI
processes to ensure meaningful analytic results." (Philippe Metzger)

ISO Secretary-General Mujica echoed these sentiments and highlighted the foundational
standards developed by the joint technical committee on AI.

"One significant contribution is agreeing on definitions and terminologies. For
example, we talk about AI, advanced AI, and risk, but we don't always mean the same
thing." (Sergio Mujica)

He also mentioned the recent launch of a management standard on AI, providing practical
guidance for organizations.

"It offers guidance on the implementation of AI, addressing risks, and defining
responsibilities within organizations." (Sergio Mujica)
