The Delhi declaration commits countries to work on mitigating “concerns around misinformation and disinformation, unemployment, lack of transparency and fairness, protection of intellectual property and personal data, and threats to human rights and democratic values.” Best possible solutions “We will discuss how to pool OECD resources to harness the ability to come up with the best possible solutions for the deployment and governance of AI for the good of our people,” Jean-Noël Barrot, France’s Minister for Digital Transition and Telecommunications, told reporters.
