One of the priorities of the G7 Italian Presidency in 2024 is to facilitate the adoption and implementation of the Hiroshima AI Process International Code of Conduct for Organisations Developing Advanced AI Systems, welcomed as an outcome of the G7 Hiroshima AI Process. At the request of the G7 membership and in line with the commitments of the Trento Declaration (March 15, 2024), the G7 Digital and Tech Working Group under the Italian Presidency called on the OECD to identify and develop appropriate mechanisms to monitor the voluntary implementation of the Code of Conduct by organisations choosing to implement it. G7 Leaders in their Apulia Communiqué reaffirmed their commitment to developing a reporting framework in cooperation with the OECD. To initiate this process, the OECD supported the development of a draft reporting framework, with input from experts from a broad array of organisations including businesses, academia, civil society and research institutes across G7 countries. To refine and assess the effectiveness of the draft reporting framework, the OECD conducted a pilot, in which a diverse range of organisations provided detailed feedback. The findings of the pilot were discussed at the G7 Technology and Digital Ministerial Meeting on 15 October 2024 in Cernobbio: This report, developed by the OECD Secretariat, summarises key feedback and highlights strengths and areas for improvement in the context of developing the operational “1.0” version of the reporting framework. It was prepared for publication by the government of Italy, as the G7 Presidency in 2024. The positions expressed herein do not necessarily reflect the official views of OECD Member countries, of G7 members, or of the Italian G7 Presidency. — décembre 19, 2024

THE MINISTERS AND REPRESENTATIVES of the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI), met in Belgrade, Serbia on 3-4 December 2024, for the GPAI Summit, under the leadership of Serbia and the Slovak Republic as GPAI Co-Chairs.

It is proposed that a new integrated partnership on AI be created between all current OECD and GPAI members, under the GPAI brand. It would leverage the synergies and complementarities between GPAI and the OECD’s work programme on AI, facilitate inclusive participation at both the governance and expert levels, and promote more efficient processes, reducing costs and duplication. The integrated partnership would bring together GPAI and OECD countries on an equal footing (collectively, “the integrated partnership membership”) and would allow more countries to join subject to agreement by consensus of the full integrated partnership membership. The integrated partnership would consist of a Council, a Plenary, a Steering Group and an Expert Community. A Secretariat at the OECD (“the Secretariat”) would be dedicated to supporting the partnership, including all its governing bodies and chairs. The integrated partnership would benefit from established OECD practices for planning and convening meetings, including Ministerial meetings, management of the expert community, communications and all other operations, and would operate under the OECD’s rules of procedure, including for overall budgeting and execution of the programme of work. The integrated partnership may decide by consensus on its specific working methods, based on the equal footing of all of its members irrespective of their OECD membership status.

The Office of the UN Secretary-General's Envoy on Technology (OSET), in its capacity as the Secretariat of the UN High-level Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence (UN AI Advisory Board) is seeking input, including from the OECD, on the Interim Report: Governing AI for Humanity. This input will contribute to finalising the report, which will serve as a key basis for the UN Summit of the Future in September 2024.— mars 31, 2024
