The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organization that works to build better policies for better lives. Founded in 1961, the OECD provides a forum where governments can work together to share experiences and seek solutions to common problems.

In the context of artificial intelligence, the OECD has emerged as a leading voice in developing international standards and recommendations for AI governance. The organization's work on AI policy includes:

  • Developing principles for trustworthy AI
  • Providing policy guidance to member countries
  • Facilitating international cooperation on AI governance
  • Conducting research on AI's economic and social impacts

The OECD's AI recommendations are non-binding but influential instruments that help shape national AI policies across its 38 member countries and beyond.
