About Hiroshima AI Process (HAP):

• Hiroshima AI Process (HAP) is an effort by G7 to determine a way forward to regulate Artificial Intelligence (AI).
• It recognizes the need to immediately take stock of the opportunities and challenges of generative AI, which is increasingly prominent across countries and sectors.
• HAP will also work in cooperation with the OECD and Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) and will discuss generative AI by the end of this year.
• These discussions could include topics such as governance, safeguarding of intellectual property rights including copyrights, promotion of transparency, response to foreign information manipulation, including disinformation and responsible utilization of these technologies.
• HAP isn’t expected to address AI regulation from a state-centric perspective. Instead, it exists to account for the importance of involving multiple stakeholders in various processes and to ensure the latter is fair and transparent.
