A weekend of high-level diplomatic meetings has seen the G7 and the Quad blocs prioritize regulation of AI, cyber security, supply chains for critical minerals, and open radio access networks.
AI was high on the agenda at the G7 meeting, where leaders called for the adoption of governance standards.
« We recognize that, while rapid technological change has been strengthening societies and economies, the international governance of new digital technologies has not necessarily kept pace, » the seven member nations – the United States, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy – said in a joint statement.
The group also said it would work with technology companies and others to drive « responsible innovation and implementation of technologies. » When it comes to generative AI in particular, the G7 said it would create a working group for discussions on governance, IP rights, disinformation and responsible use by the end of the year.
