Background

National AI Policies are essential for articulating a cohesive strategy on how the country intends to address the challenges and opportunities posed by AI and for presenting a set of principles that will guide the actions of the government and other actors in relation to AI. Furthermore, policies often serve as the starting point from which laws are developed, playing a crucial role in addressing certain responsible AI topics where a sound prescription is needed to protect people's rights in the context of AI.

Relevance

AI systems and tools have the potential to significantly advance a country’s developmental goals and agendas, including progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, these technologies also pose new risks and can exacerbate existing harms. Therefore, it is crucial for governments to develop national AI policies that harness the social and economic benefits of AI while mitigating risks throughout the AI lifecycle.


National AI policies are the most important and effective tools for ensuring that AI is:

Used ethically and responsibly

Does not introduce new harms or increase risks

Holds AI providers and users accountable
