Prime Minister Fumio Kishida called on members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development to work together to ensure trustworthy AI, during a keynote address at the opening ceremony of the OECD Council of Ministers meeting in Paris on Thursday.
“With regard to the opportunities and risks for humanity that AI presents, [OECD members] must work together with common intentions to achieve safe, secure and reliable AI,” said Kishida.
As the first Asian country to join the OECD 60 years ago, Kishida said Japan would “help lead the global economy into the future” and serve as a bridge between potential candidates for the OECD and its current members.
