AI, data governance and privacy
Synergies and areas of international co-operation
Recent AI technological advances, particularly the rise of generative AI, have raised
many data governance and privacy questions. However, AI and privacy policy communities
often address these issues independently, with approaches that vary between jurisdictions
and legal systems. These silos can generate misunderstandings, add complexities in
regulatory compliance and enforcement, and prevent capitalising on commonalities between
national frameworks. This report focuses on the privacy risks and opportunities stemming
from recent AI developments. It maps the principles set in the OECD Privacy Guidelines
to the OECD AI Principles, takes stock of national and regional initiatives, and suggests
potential areas for collaboration. The report supports the implementation of the OECD
Privacy Guidelines alongside the OECD AI Principles. By advocating for international
co-operation, the report aims to guide the development of AI systems that respect
and support privacy.
