AI Principles
The OECD Principles on Artificial Intelligence promote AI that is innovative and trustworthy and that respects human rights and democratic values. They are the first such principles signed up to by governments.
OECD.AI
The OECD.AI Policy Observatory is a unique source of real-time information, analysis and dialogue designed to shape and share policies on artificial intelligence across the globe.
Connectivity for all
The Internet has been a lifeline during the COVID-19 pandemic, but without good connectivity, millions of people ultimately face greater exclusion.
The new OECD Recommendation on Broadband Connectivity provides a roadmap for policy makers and regulatory authorities to achieve high-quality connectivity and ensure equal access for all.
Online privacy
For decades the OECD has been playing an important role in promoting respect for privacy as a fundamental value and a condition for the free flow of personal data across borders.
The OECD Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal Data are the cornerstone of OECD work on information security and privacy.
