Resume:

1.- Bilel Jamoussi is the head of host country standardization at the TSB of the UIT.

2.- Focus groups offer an open platform for members and non-members to incubate new standardization subjects.

3.- Last year, a focus group on AI applications in healthcare was launched in collaboration with WHO.

4.- There is a lack of doctors in developing countries, so AI tools on phones for disease diagnosis could greatly help.

5.- Algorithms for AI tools need to be verified and validated through a platform with annotated medical data collections.

6.- The focus group aims to promote quality use of AI in healthcare through global participation of doctors and technicians.

7.- ITU standards are voluntary and developed by member states, the private sector (800+ companies), and academia (150 universities/research centers).

8.- Countries can choose to adopt ITU standards into national regulations. It provides a platform especially for developing countries.

9.- ITU aims to foster inclusion and reduce the digital gap through its standardization work.

10.- There is also a focus group on using machine learning and AI to intelligently manage sophisticated 5G networks.

11.- 5G is a network revolution, allowing massive device connectivity, high bandwidth, and very low latency for many services.

12.- A new focus group looks at the environmental impact of AI in data centers and using AI for climate change adaptation.

13.- The focus groups act as incubators in ITU's standardization pipeline for member states, companies and academia to build consensus.

14.- The AI for Good summit has grown from 400 to over 2000 participants in three years, showing increasing interest and maturity.

15.- The summit featured fantastic presentations and dialogue among global experts in AI and machine learning.

16.- Examples included young entrepreneurs from Nigeria presenting AI solutions they developed for healthcare.

17.- The summit provides an inclusive international platform that guides ITU on new subjects for standardization and development.

18.- It allows ITU to serve its members in an engaged way by focusing on cutting-edge new technologies.
