New OECD principles to foster Human-Centric AI

On May 22, 2019, the OECD’s 36 member countries including the US, formally adopted the first set of intergovernmental policy guidelines on Artificial Intelligence (AI), agreeing to uphold international standards to ensure that AI systems are designed to be robust, safe, fair and trustworthy.

Degrading humanity towards manipulated, brain-hacked servants as the historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari is concerned about, strongly differs from the goals defined by the OECD principles.

Human-Centric AI enhances and empowers humans rather than replacing and controlling them. Hence the five OECD principles are fully aligned to the goals of Human-Centric AI.
