The Seoul Statement sets an ambitious vision, but delivering on it requires more than standards alone. It calls for cross-sector commitment to embedding sociotechnical considerations into every AI system, ensuring people, inclusivity and fundamental rights remain at the centre of this transformation. Earlier today at the International AI Summit in Seoul, the World Standards Cooperation leaders explored how we can advance AI through standards and collaboration to shape a responsible and trusted future. We are already embedding sociotechnical considerations into our work, but we know there is still a long journey ahead. The Seoul Statement represents our commitment to advancing this effort and continuing the conversation.

We are integrating sociotechnical considerations into standards, informed by emerging areas such as human–brain interfaces and bio-digital convergence. But, collaboration is key. Implementation cannot rest with standards bodies alone. Industry, regulators, companies and policymakers must act now, integrating sociotechnical dimensions into products, policies and governance frameworks. By working together, we can accelerate responsible AI adoption and deliver on the vision of a fair, safe and trustworthy digital future for all. As technology evolves, so do the societal questions, and our work evolves with them, ensuring AI serves everyone everywhere. #SeoulStatement #IAISS2025 #IECEmergingTech #AIEthics #TrustworthyAI #ResponsibleAI #GlobalCollaboration #Innovation
