Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
An international organization that develops and promotes common principles, guidelines, and policy standards for trustworthy and responsible AI use
The Explain card
- Plain English
- The OECD is an international organisation that develops and promotes shared principles, guidelines and policy standards for trustworthy and responsible AI.
- Example
- A multinational writes its AI ethics policy and aligns it with the OECD AI Principles, covering human-centred values, transparency, robustness and accountability. Because many governments have adopted those principles, the policy travels well across its operating countries.
- Why it matters
- OECD principles shape the national laws and frameworks defenders eventually have to meet. Building to them early means fewer surprises when a new regulation lands.
- Hook
- The upstream spring that many AI laws drink from.
Where it sits in the deck
