Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly important driver of innovation, productivity and economic transformation. As governments work to realise these opportunities, international co-operation and practical governance tools are becoming essential to support trusted and interoperable approaches to AI.
At the 2026 OECD Ministerial Council Meeting, this side event will present two initiatives designed to help policymakers navigate AI governance in practice.
Opening remarks will be delivered by OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann and a representative of Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The first release of the OECD/GPAI AI Policy Toolkit will provide governments with practical resources to support the design, implementation and continuous improvement of AI policy. Drawing on international experience and regional co-creation processes, the Toolkit aims to strengthen policy learning and support more coherent approaches across countries.
The event will also present an updated version of the Hiroshima AI Process (HAIP) Reporting Framework, which supports transparency and the sharing of good practices for organisations developing advanced AI systems. Learn more about the framework here: Hiroshima AI Process Reporting Framework
This event is co-organised with the support of Costa Rica, Japan, and the United Kingdom. It will feature presentations and the opportunity to discuss recently developed tools supporting AI policy, including the first release of the AI Policy Toolkit and an updated version of the HAIP Reporting Framework.
