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.
Scoping the OECD AI principles
This document presents the work conducted by the expert group on AI at the OECD (AIGO) to scope principles to foster trust in and adoption of AI. It presents a common understanding of what is an AI system as well as a framework that details the stages of the AI system lifecycle.
AI terms & concepts
An AI system is a machine-based system that, for explicit or implicit objectives, infers, from the input it receives, how to generate outputs such as predictions, content, recommendations, or decisions that can influence physical or virtual environments. Different AI systems vary in their levels of autonomy and adaptiveness after deployment.
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.
