Leading Global AI Governance: Meet the Woman Behind OECD's AI Principles

  • She helped oversee the OECD AI Principles, the world's first intergovernmental standards for AI governance, initially adopted in 2019 and updated in 2024.

  • While the OECD definitions aren’t perfect, they remain the only established governance framework used by 46 governments.
