AI Group of Experts (OECD)

Overview
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development has created the AI Group of Experts (AIGO) to provide guidance in scoping principles for artificial intelligence in society. The formation of the group is the latest step in the organisation's work on artificial intelligence to help governments, business, labor and the public maximize the benefits of AI and minimize its risks.

The group is made up of experts from OECD member countries and think tanks, business, civil society and labor associations and other international organizations. In 2016 the OECD's Committee on Digital Economy Policy began discussing the need for a Recommendation on AI principles by the OECD Council. The Committee decided in May 2018 to establish the expert group to scope AI principles that could be adopted in 2019.
