The code of conduct provides guidelines for AI regulation across G7 countries and includes cybersecurity considerations and international standards.

The Group of Seven countries have created a voluntary AI code of conduct, released on October 30, regarding the use of advanced artificial intelligence.

The code of conduct focuses on but is not limited to foundation models and generative AI. As a point of reference, the G7 countries are the U.K., Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the U.S., as well as the European Union.

The G7's AI code of conduct, more specifically called the "Hiroshima Process International Code of Conduct for Organizations Developing Advanced AI Systems," is a risk-based approach that intends "To promote safe, secure and trustworthy AI worldwide and will provide voluntary guidance for actions by organizations developing the most advanced AI systems."

The code of conduct is part of the Hiroshima AI Process, a series of analyses, guidelines and principles for project-based cooperation across G7 countries.

Although this document provides useful information and guidance to G7 countries and organizations that choose to use it, the AI code of conduct is voluntary and non-binding.
