This article briefly:
G7 countries will develop a voluntary “code of conduct” for companies innovating with advanced AI systems.
OpenAI has formed a preparedness team to manage risks posed by AI models, responding to global calls for safety.
The Code of Conduct and the OpenAI team represent steps toward responsible use of the power of AI.
The Group of Seven (G7) industrial nations are preparing to develop a voluntary “code of conduct” for innovative companies working in the field of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The move stems from the “Hiroshima AI Process” and aims to address potential misuse and risks associated with this transformative technology.
The Group of Seven, which includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, and the European Union, initiated the process, setting a precedent for AI governance.
G7 countries propose global code of conduct for artificial intelligence
The 11-point code of conduct is a beacon of hope amid rising privacy concerns and security risks.
“Aims to promote safe, secure, and trustworthy AI globally and will provide voluntary guidance for the actions of organizations developing state-of-the-art AI systems.”
The guidelines encourage companies to identify, assess and mitigate risks throughout the AI lifecycle. In addition, it recommends publishing public reports on AI capabilities, limitations and uses, emphasizing strong security controls.
Vera Jourova, the European Commission’s digital chief, told the Internet Governance Forum:
“The code of conduct is a solid foundation for ensuring safety and it will act as a bridge until regulation is in place.”

OpenAI joins the cause
ChatGPT's parent company, OpenAI, has also set up a preparedness team to manage the risks posed by AI models. The team, led by Aleksander Madry, will address risks such as personalized persuasion, cybersecurity threats, and the spread of misinformation.
The move is OpenAI's contribution to the upcoming Global AI Summit in the UK, and echoes global calls for safe and transparent AI development.
The UK government defines Frontier AI as:
“Powerful general AI models that can perform a wide range of tasks and match or exceed the capabilities of today’s state-of-the-art models.”
OpenAI’s preparedness team will focus on managing risks, further solidifying the need for a global “code of conduct” for AI.
As AI continues to advance, the G7’s proactive stance and OpenAI’s commitment to risk mitigation are both timely responses. The formation of a voluntary “Code of Conduct” and a dedicated preparedness team represent important steps in harnessing the power of AI responsibly. The aim is to ensure that its benefits are maximized while potential risks are effectively managed. #人工智能 #G7
