OECD Recommendation of the Council on Artificial Intelligence (2024 update)

The OECD updated its foundational recommendation on artificial intelligence governance in May 2024. This international instrument provides guidance to member countries on developing AI policies that promote innovation while managing risks. The recommendation builds on the original 2019 framework and incorporates lessons learned from rapid AI development and deployment across OECD member states.

The updated recommendation addresses key areas of ai-governance including principles for trustworthy AI development, policy frameworks for AI system oversight, and international cooperation mechanisms. It emphasizes the importance of human-centric-ai approaches that prioritize human rights, democratic values, and social welfare in AI system design and deployment.

This update reflects the OECD's ongoing commitment to providing evidence-based policy guidance as AI technologies continue to evolve and their societal impacts become more apparent across member countries.
