G7 agrees on first comprehensive guidelines for generative AI

This is the best summary I could come up with:

TOKYO -- Group of Seven digital and technology ministers agreed Friday on the world's first comprehensive international guidelines for generative artificial intelligence, applying to both developers and users, to address such problems as misinformation.

The principles sit alongside a voluntary code of conduct for AI developers agreed on by G7 leaders in October as the two centerpieces of the group's Comprehensive Policy Framework.

The new 12th principle is to "promote and contribute to trustworthy and responsible use of advanced AI systems," such as improving digital literacy and sharing information on risks and vulnerabilities.

The guidelines also call for developing and adopting reliable authentication technology, such as digital watermarking to identify AI-generated content, and implementing protections for personal information and intellectual property.

The G7 ministers agreed on an implementation plan for next year -- including the development of monitoring tools to track compliance with the principles -- and outreach to encourage other countries to sign on.

The group agreed to establish an international body under the umbrella of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development to discuss topics including privacy-enhancing technologies like encryption.

This is not a time for half measures. We need a complete ban on AI manufacturing paperclips now!

Just because fully automatic factories are complete sci-fi, does not mean that we have the luxury to take care of urgent matters.
