Shaping the future through standards

A week of insightful discussions on advancing standards to address the world's most pressing challenges. 
 

Under the theme “Breaking boundaries”, this year’s event brought together an audience of over 14 000, in person and online, from more than 135 countries. Participants were challenged to “think outside the box” and harness diverse viewpoints to ensure lasting transformative change and a better future for all.

Hosted by ICONTEC, Colombia’s national standards body, the Annual Meeting showcased how International Standards can drive sustainable and inclusive growth, promote responsible AI and shape the future of human capital. The event served as a powerful platform for engaging diverse voices across sectors, encouraging collaboration, and fostering innovative solutions that transcend geographic and industry boundaries.

AI for good

With AI’s rapid evolution, the need for a cohesive, global approach to governance has become critical. AI needs to be developed and deployed responsibly and safely – standards and frameworks are the answer.

Strengthen your AI management with ISO/IEC 42001.

Calling the next generation!

A key takeaway was the call to involve and leverage the youth in driving this transition. The youth engagement programme – ISO Environmental Management (ISO/TC 207) Youth Leadership Group – will play a vital role in this effort.
