OECD.AI is an inclusive hub for public policy on AI that helps countries encourage, nurture and monitor the development and use of trustworthy AI. From the measurement of AI trends and developments to the direction and impact of national and regional AI policies and initiatives, OECD.AI is a prime example of how to move the AI discussion from principles to practice. Its up-to-date repository of over 600 AI policy initiatives from 60 countries enables the comparison of key elements of national AI policies in an interactive manner. Its work and indicators have informed and enhanced national and international analysis such as Pan Canadian AI Strategy Impact Assessment, the German AI Observatory, the G20 background paper on Trustworthy AI in Health multiple G20 reports and the recent EC Proposal for AI Regulation. Armando Guio, CAF Consultant at the Presidency of the Republic of Colombia believes that "the Observatory has rapidly become one of the most important sources of data and knowledge for AI governance."

How do we ensure that AI is trustworthy and its benefits are shared by all? As the statistics show, while there is incremental improvement, there is still a level of hesitancy and suspicion towards AI among the citizens around the world.
