The Zero Standard: Guarding Human Choice in the Machine Age
In the past, standards like ISO were created to ensure the quality of human work and production. They minimized errors, guaranteed safety, and aligned global processes. That made sense when humans were the ones manufacturing, assembling, and managing everything.
But in the machine age, this foundation shifts. Machines can already outperform humans in precision, efficiency, and error-free execution. They don’t need ISO to remind them not to make mistakes — they are built to minimize them.
