The 2025 International AI Standards Summit will take place from 2–3 December 2025 in Seoul, hosted by the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS).
By bringing together key stakeholders and experts from around the world, the summit will build a strong foundation for AI governance, advancing the work on creating global standards that promote inclusive and responsible AI development.
This joint initiative by IEC, ISO and ITU advances the UN’s framework for global governance of digital technology and AI, the Global Digital Compact. The Compact, which was adopted in September 2024 as part of the Pact for the Future by world leaders convening at the 2024 UN Summit of the Future, highlights the need for increased collaboration among standards development organizations in promoting the development and adoption of interoperable AI standards that uphold safety, reliability, sustainability and human rights.
The International AI Standards Summit will serve as a vital platform to address the complex challenges posed by AI, ensuring that standards are developed and remain relevant to foster safe, transparent, and inclusive technologies for all.
