Add to calendarThis seminar sets to ensure the understanding of what is practically needed and meant to develop safe and trustworthy standard-setting processes, given that in today’s fast-paced digital landscape, emerging technologies are revolutionizing our world, creating significant opportunities for innovation and societal progress, but also raising complex challenges that impact human rights. As these technologies - including artificial intelligence, metaverse, and 5G/6G - become more embedded in everyday life, it is critical to ensure that human integrity, dignity, and rights are upheld.
Organized by the European Commission, in collaboration with the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), supported by the EU-funded projects StandICT.eu, INSTAR and InDiCo Global, the seminar highlights the importance of a multi-stakeholder approach, bringing together diverse perspectives from governments, international organizations, the private sector, civil society and standards development organizations.
