OECD PUBLISHES EXAMPLES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE NATIONAL POLICIES

04.08.2020

Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has recently released “Examples of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) National Policies”.  

The report on which the Digital Economy Task Force (“DETF”) prepared by the OECD sets out rationales for action on each of the G20 AI Principles and details relevant examples of national strategies and innovative policy practices for AI governance. This work also marks another important milestone for the G20’s leadership on AI policy issues.

The key observations given in the report as follows;

  • There is considerable activity and experimentation taking place in G20 countries to build and support trustworthy AI ecosystems, and most strategies and policies are very recent,
  • Many strategies and policies address, either explicitly or implicitly, multiple G20 AI Principles at once, reinforcing the strong complementarity of the Principles,
  • Currently few policies seem to place a primary focus on the Principles of robustness, security and safety, and accountability, compared to those of inclusive growth or human-centred values,
  • Many policies and strategic approaches to achieving trustworthy AI leverage policy tools around research and development, fostering a digital ecosystem, shaping an enabling environment, building human capacity and supporting international cooperation for trustworthy AI,
  • A significant number of policies are oriented around research and development for AI, highlighting that countries consider that much more progress can be achieved with the technology itself, and its application to various economic and social questions,
  • There is potential for steering public research towards socially oriented applications and issues, and for leveraging research and development activities to make progress on issues such as accountability, explainability, fairness and transparency.
