US to endorse new OECD principles on artificial intelligence

The group, representing the world's richest countries, hopes non-binding guidelines will become global standard. PARIS -- Donald Trump's administration has finally found an international agreement it can support. At an annual meeting on Wednesday, the 36 countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) plus a handful of other nations are set to adopt a list of guidelines for the development and use of artificial intelligence. The agreement, seen by POLITICO, marks the first time that the United States -- home to some of the world's largest and most powerful tech companies -- has endorsed international guidelines for the emerging technologies. China, the second global front-runner in the field, is not a member of the OECD.
