OECD AI Principles

The OECD AI Principles provide a framework for governments and stakeholders to design and implement AI policies that foster innovation while ensuring AI systems are human-centric and trustworthy. Adopted by 42 countries, these principles cover values-based principles for responsible AI (e.g., inclusive growth, human-centered values, transparency, robustness, accountability) and recommendations for national policies (e.g., investing in AI research, fostering a digital ecosystem, shaping an enabling policy environment). They serve as a foundational reference for ethical AI development and governance globally, influencing national strategies and international cooperation. Unlike specific AI tools, the OECD AI Principles offer a guiding philosophy and policy blueprint rather than a functional software application.
