Hiroshima AI Process
In 2023, the Group of Seven (G7) recognized the urgent need to establish international principles for AI governance. Led by Japan, the G7 launched the Hiroshima AI Process to discuss the opportunities and risks of AI. This led to the creation of the Hiroshima AI Process Comprehensive Policy Framework. The first of its kind, the Framework sets out guiding principles and a code of conduct for all AI actors with the goal of promoting safe, secure, and trustworthy AI systems. In 2024, the Hiroshima AI Process Friends Group kicked off with the participation of about 49 countries and regions. These volunteer countries have committed to supporting the Group and implementing the principles of the Framework.
