Resources on AI

OECD.AI seeks to feature useful resources on AI. We are planning to add materials to help policy makers understand what is AI and its policy implications.

List of OECD resources

Artificial Intelligence in Society
The OECD published “AI in Society” in June 2019. Chapter 1 of this book provides a historical overview of AI’s evolution as well as description of AI systems and their lifecycle. It also proposes a research taxonomy to help policy makers understand AI trends and identify policy issues.

AI terms & concepts

An AI system is a machine-based system that is capable of influencing the environment by producing an output (predictions, recommendations or decisions) for a given set of objectives. It uses machine and/or human-based data and inputs to (i) perceive real and/or virtual environments; (ii) abstract these perceptions into models through analysis in an automated manner (e.g., with machine learning), or manually; and (iii) use model inference to formulate options for outcomes. AI systems are designed to operate with varying levels of autonomy.

Other AI observatories and repositories

This section provides examples of “observatories” developed through policy initiatives. Similar to the OECD.AI, they plan to monitor the development of AI technology, support the AI distribution and enhance public discussions at different level.
