CERRE welcomes the publication of the G7 Leaders’ Statement on the Hiroshima AI Process for companies developing advanced AI systems. The G7 AI Hiroshima Process, a crucial starting point for policy discussions on generative AI, seeks to ensure responsible development and harness the economic and societal transformations it promises.
CERRE is proud to see its work on fostering global digital convergence at the top of the agenda at the G7, a journey we have undertaken for the past two years with our flagship project on the Global Governance for the Digital Ecosystems. Notably, Pascal Lamy (former Director General of the WTO) and Dr. Bruno Liebhaberg (founder and Director General of our think tank) presented the Phase 1 report to President Macron in November 2022.
Since April this year, we have actively engaged with various governments across the EU, the US, India, and other regions. The project aims to identify ways to “preserve convergence (in digital regulation) and, when divergence is inevitable, organise co-existence“. In Phase 2, we will delve deeper and continue to serve as a sounding board to governments and key stakeholders on global governance structures for AI, as well as other topics like cross-border data flows and digital supply chain resilience.
