Hello everyone, I am Sung Hwan Cho, President of ISO. It is a great pleasure to deliver you a message at this year’s World Internet of Things Convention.

In this digital age, our world is more interconnected than ever. Data-driven technology is improving efficiency, accuracy and value across sectors – transforming industries, economies and societies globally. It is crucial that this progress actively supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals and bridges the digital divide, ensuring everyone can fully enjoy the benefits.

ISO and IEC are enabling this interconnection. Our joint technical committee on the Internet of Things is developing standards to ensure device interoperability, data security and user privacy. This work is paving the way for technology to seamlessly integrate into our daily lives, enhancing connectivity and building a more equitable and sustainable world. From transport and energy needs to communication and well-being, our standards have a practical impact on people’s lives.

Emerging technologies are at the heart of this smart revolution, and ISO is leading the discussion, bringing together stakeholders and engaging with business, policymakers and end users. Our collaboration with IEC on quantum technologies highlights our commitment to exploring new fields. We are also taking the lead in standardizing bio-digital convergence and the metaverse, shaping the future of industry and society.

The success of ISO and IEC’s artificial intelligence community showcases our collaborative spirit. This hub of innovation brings together experts from over 60 countries, fostering trust and buy-in among users. The standards they develop are laying the groundwork for an all-electric and connected society, enabling seamless interaction between AI technologies and electrical grids, as well as smart devices and connected infrastructures. 

However, with increased connectivity come new threats. That’s why safeguarding information assets and managing data security risks are vital for organizations. Our information security management standards are invaluable, offering comprehensive guidelines on risks, principles and controls to ensure the security and privacy of Internet of Things solutions.

ISO and IEC are also transforming how standards are developed and used, through initiatives such as the IEC/ISO SMART programme. The next generation of International Standards will offer timely, tailored content to relevant users – whether humans, computers or machines. They will be embedded into product development supply chains and become integral to daily life, benefiting government, business and society as a whole.

At ISO, we are not just keeping pace with the future; we are defining it. By doing so, we are unlocking the full potential of an interconnected world, driving economic and social development, and making people’s lives easier, safer and better.

Enjoy the Convention!

大家好，我是国际标准化组织主席曹诚焕。很荣幸在今年的世界物联网大会上发言。

在如今的数字化时代，世界各行各业之间的联系比以往任何时候都更加紧密。数据驱动型技术正不断提高各行业的效率、准确性及价值，在全球范围内促进各行业、经济和社会发生改变。而让这一发展变革在助力实施联合国可持续发展目标、弥合数字鸿沟、确保人人都能充分享受其益处等方面发挥积极作用变得至关重要。

当前，国际标准化组织和国际电工委员正携手致力于实现互连互通。物联网联合技术委员会正着手制定相关标准，以确保各设备之间的互操作性、数据安全和用户隐私。这项工作为日后技术完美融入人们日常生活奠定了基础，促进实现互联互通，助力建设一个更加公平和可持续的世界。从满足交通、能源需求，到实现通信、为人类谋福祉，国际标准化组织制定的标准对人们的生活产生了实际影响。

新兴技术是这场智能革命的核心。对此，国际标准化组织正领导开展相关讨论，将利益攸关方聚集在一起，并与企业、政策制定者和终端用户进行沟通和接触。国际标准化组织践行探索新领域的承诺，与国际电工委员在量子技术方面开展合作。此外，组织还在生物数字融合和元宇宙标准化领域处于领先地位，致力于塑造相关行业和社会的未来。

国际标准化组织携手国际电工委员成功建立了人工智能社区，充分展示组织的合作精神。创新中心汇集了来自60多个国家的专家，致力于促进用户之间的信任与支持。专家们制定的标准为创建互联互通的全电气社会奠定基础，促进人工智能技术与电网、智能设备和互联互通基础设施之间实现无缝交互。

然而，随着互联互通的实现，新的威胁也随之而来。有效保护信息资产及管理数据安全风险对各机构组织而言至关重要。国际标准化组织建立发布了信息安全管理体系标准，为风险、原则和调控等方面提供了全面的指南，以保障物联网解决方案的安全性和隐私性，其价值不可估量。

国际标准化组织和国际电工委员还通过IEC/ISO SMART计划等举措，改变了标准的制定及使用方式。下一代国际标准将为相关用户——无论是人类、计算机还是机器，提供及时、量身定制的内容。这些国际标准将会被嵌入到产品开发供应链中，成为人们日常生活中不可或缺的一部分，造福政府、企业及全社会。

国际标准化组织不仅与未来保持同步，还正在积极定义未来，充分挖掘释放互联世界的潜力，推动经济社会发展，助力人们的生活变得更轻松、更安全、更美好。

最后，预祝本次大会圆满成功！
