The rapid advances of artificial intelligence (AI) in recent years have led to numerous creative applications in science. Accelerating the productivity of science could be the most economically and socially valuable of all the uses of AI. Utilising AI to accelerate scientific productivity will support the ability of OECD countries to grow, innovate and meet global challenges, from climate change to new contagions.
This publication is aimed at a broad readership, including policy makers, the public, and stakeholders in all areas of science. It is written in non-technical language and gathers the perspectives of prominent researchers and practitioners.

This document discusses ethical issues associated with using Machine Learning and outlines considerations for web technologies that enable related use cases.

UNESCO, 2023.

As AI continues to open up numerous of opportunities to transform and revolutionize how we address global challenges and move through the world, excitement over AI systems has been tempered by growing concerns over its potential harms and ethical issues that may arise. Some of the concerns that have been raised by world leaders and experts include the use of AI by malicious parties, the amplification and exacerbation of existing biases, as well as the propensity of AI to facilitate the spread of disinformation and misinformation.

This Toolkit is a comprehensive guide designed to help policymakers and public sector leaders translate principles for safe, secure, and trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI) into actionable policies. AI can help improve the efficiency of internal operations, the effectiveness of policymaking, the responsiveness of public services, and overall transparency and accountability. Recognising both the opportunities and risks posed by AI, this toolkit provides practical insights, shares good practices for the use of AI in and by the public sector, integrates ethical considerations, and provides an overview of G7 trends. It further showcases public sector AI use cases, detailing their benefits, as well as the implementation challenges faced by G7 members, together with the emerging policy responses to guide and coordinate the development, deployment, and use of AI in the public sector. The toolkit finally highlights key stages and factors characterising the journey of public sector AI solutions.

Une administration proactive anticipe les besoins des individus pour y répondre rapidement, rendant les services publics plus accessibles, augmentant la satisfaction des usagers et allégeant les charges administratives. Pour transformer cette vision en réalité, les pays s'appuient sur une utilisation stratégique et digne de confiance de l’intelligence artificielle (IA), conforme à ce que promeuvent les Principes de l’OCDE sur l’IA et la Recommandation du Conseil sur l’intelligence artificielle.

La méthode d’évaluation de l’état de préparation est un instrument au niveau macro qui aidera les pays à savoir se situer sur l’échelle de préparation à une mise en œuvre éthique et responsable de l’IA dans l’intérêt de l’ensemble de leurs citoyens, tout en leur indiquant les changements indispensables à apporter sur les plans institutionnels et réglementaires. Les résultats de la méthode d’évaluation de l’état de préparation aideront l’UNESCO à adapter les mesures de renforcement des capacités aux besoins de chacun des pays. « Capacités » désigne ici l’aptitude à évaluer les systèmes d’IA conformément à la Recommandation ainsi que la présence du capital humain, d’infrastructures, de politiques et de réglementations nécessaires et appropriées pour répondre aux défis posés par les technologies de l’IA et à veiller à ce que les personnes et leurs intérêts soient toujours placés au cœur du développement de l’IA.

This report provides an international benchmarking of Germany’s artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem and discusses progress in implementing its national AI strategy. The report draws on quantitative and qualitative data and insights from the OECD.AI Policy Observatory and from the OECD Programme on AI in Work, Innovation, Productivity and Skills (AI-WIPS) – an OECD research programme financed by the German Federal Government – and results from a series of interviews with a wide range of stakeholders in Germany.

Ziesche, S., UNESCO, 2023.

In order to fight the epidemic, timely, relevant, and high-quality open data were globally shared. This cooperative and efficient undertaking could serve as a blue-print for a better and more sustainable future for all. Having raw data is the first essential step in processing and transforming them into actionable information. But the required data need to have certain characteristics, such as being accurate, timely and reliable. Further critical aspects of data are that they are findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) by anyone for any purpose.
The aim of these guidelines is to apprise Member States of the value of open data, and to outline how data are curated and opened. These guidelines specify concrete steps that Member States can take to open their data in three phases - Prepare, Open, Follow-up.

This working paper reviews the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on equity and inclusion in education, focusing on learner-centred, teacher-led and other institutional AI tools. It highlights the potential of AI in adapting learning while also addressing challenges such as access issues, inherent biases and the need for comprehensive teacher training. The paper emphasises the importance of balancing the potential benefits of AI with ethical considerations and the risk of exacerbating existing disparities. It highlights the need to address privacy and ethical concerns, enhance cultural responsiveness, manage techno ableism and provide continuing professional learning in AI. Additionally, the paper stresses the importance of maintaining educational integrity amidst growing commercial influence. It encourages research on AI tools’ implications for equity and inclusion to ensure that AI adoption in education supports a more equitable and inclusive learning environment.

The RAM is a macro level instrument that will help countries understand where they stand on the scale of preparedness to implement AI ethically and responsibly for all their citizens, in so doing highlighting what institutional and regulatory changes are needed. The outputs of the RAM will help UNESCO tailor the capacity building efforts to the needs of specific countries. Capacity here refers to the ability to assess AI systems in line with the Recommendation, the presence of requisite and appropriate human capital, and infrastructure, policies, and regulations to address the challenges brought about by AI technologies and ensure that people and their interests are always at the center of AI development.

In no other field is the ethical compass is more relevant than in artificial intelligence. These general-purpose technologies are re-shaping the way we work, interact, and live. The world is set to change at a pace not seen since the deployment of the printing press six centuries ago. AI technology brings major benefits in many areas, but without the ethical guardrails, it risks reproducing real world biases and discrimination, fueling divisions and threatening fundamental human rights and freedoms.
