Building trust in the AI era: strengthening the master source of standards

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping the landscape of publishing. Maintaining a trusted link between standards publishers and the end-users of the standards is more pressing than ever. The power of AI is leading to an internet that is increasingly awash with all sorts of texts that may – or may not – be accurate. Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) play a crucial role in establishing the trustworthiness of digital materials as we advance – especially as we transition into a paperless environment where no ‘ground truth’ paper publication can be used to authenticate.With standards source authentication technology, SDOs can protect the integrity of their standards and provide a vital new service to the organizations that rely on them.
