This included endorsement of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) AI principles.

These guide AI actors in efforts to develop trustworthy AI, and provide policymakers with recommendations for effective AI policies. Countries use the OECD AI Principles and related tools to shape policies and create AI risk frameworks, building a foundation for global interoperability between jurisdictions.
