G7 agrees on first comprehensive guidelines for generative AI
Dec 01, 2023 - asia.nikkei.com
The Group of Seven (G7) digital and technology ministers have agreed on the world's first comprehensive international guidelines for generative artificial intelligence (AI). These guidelines, which apply to both developers and users, aim to address issues such as misinformation. The principles complement a voluntary code of conduct for AI developers agreed on by G7 leaders in October, forming two key parts of the group's Comprehensive Policy Framework.
The guidelines are expected to be approved in a virtual summit in early December. This move by the G7 is seen as an attempt to set a de facto international standard for rules governing advanced AI systems. The initiative is part of a broader effort to combat the risks associated with AI, including the spread of misinformation.
