As the development of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to build at speed, and in the wake of the rapid advances in generative AI, governments are racing to adopt national policies and develop global regulatory cooperation. Several initiatives promoting international cooperation are underway: the OECD has been active for some time; the G7, G20, and United Nations have all adopted broad principles and new initiatives, such as the G7’s recent ‘Hiroshima AI process’ to regulate generative AI, have been launched. Cooperation between like-minded partners is also ramping up in various bilateral and multilateral forums, with the EU and the US notably working on voluntary codes of conduct and other mechanisms designed to avoid divergence and foster responsible, human-centric AI. Meanwhile, the EU is finalising the first comprehensive regulatory scheme for AI.
