The Summit was announced today at the Fifth Global Standards Symposium in New Delhi, India, during a special session dedicated to the crucial role of international standards in ensuring safe, responsible and inclusive use of AI.

“We have a responsibility to deliver standards that build confidence in the digital world that underpins so much of our society.” said Philippe Metzger, IEC Secretary-General & CEO.

Together with ISO and ITU, today we are also celebrating #WorldStandardsDay. With a dedicated focus on advancements driven by AI, we are shining a light on Sustainable Development Goal #SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.

Today’s roundtable examined the benefits & challenges of using standards to mitigate the risks of AI in the run up to our AI Safety Summit #AISS. #nowicanscratchmynose

[Sahar Danesh @missdanesh]

One of the biggest risks of misuse of LLM is “people”. How people use them and how they incorporate the findings from them; we still need people to be trained to use their professional judgement to prevent safety risks.
