The Paris Peace Forum, our new partner for trustworthy AI

Message from OECD Secretary-General, Mathias Cormann:

Last week while attending the Paris Peace Forum, I was honoured and encouraged to find out that the Forum selected OECD.AI as its scale-up project for AI Governance and Cybersecurity. I was honoured as the OECD’s Secretary-General but also encouraged because the Forum shares our belief that countries must cooperate to solve global challenges, and the OECD Principles on Artificial Intelligence and OECD.AI Policy Observatory are perfect examples of international government partnerships in action.

Our platform, OECD.AI, will now receive assistance and mentorship from the Forum to help achieve its goal to make AI trustworthy faster and better. That’s why I see becoming a scale-up project as both an achievement and the beginning of a new partnership built on shared values.

An open and inclusive platform to share data and good practices

Our platform is a rich resource for policy-oriented evidence in the form of data, dialogue and sharing. Data come from countries but business partners and civil society also contribute. Private sector partners like Microsoft, GitHub, LinkedIn, Coursera, Elsevier and Adzuna provide data to give more immediate insights into things like the supply and demand of AI skills in different countries in real-time. Policy makers and other AI actors in over 170 countries are already using these tools to help shape their AI developments and initiatives.

OECD.AI is an open platform. Today, there are 63 country dashboards, while all 38 OECD Member countries, the European Union and 8 partner countries have officially adhered to the principles. Egypt and Singapore recently signed on and we welcome new requests from countries to adhere to the OECD AI Principles.

I encourage you to explore OECD.AI to see how it measures our collective progress towards trustworthy AI and how its network of AI experts facilitate collaborative AI policy discussions. You can also subscribe to the blog, the AI Wonk, to keep up with the latest ideas to nurture trustworthy AI.
