To realize Society 5.0 and continuous innovation in which people evolve along with AI, it is necessary to account for national, industry academia, and public private borders, race, sex, nationality, age, political and religious beliefs, etc. Beyond these boundaries, through a Global perspective we must promote diversification and cooperation between industry academia public private sectors, through the development of human capabilities and technology. To encourage mutual collaboration and partnership between universities, research institutions and private sectors, and the flexible movement of talent. To implement AI efficiently and securely in society, methods for confirming the quality and reliability of AI and for efficient collection and maintenance of data utilized in AI must be promoted. Additionally, the establishment of AI engineering should also be promoted. This engineering includes methods for the development, testing and operation of AI. To ensure the sound development of AI technology, it is necessary to establish an accessible platform in which data from all fields can be mutually utilized across borders with no monopolies, while ensuring privacy and security. In addition, research and development environments should be created in which computer resources and highspeed networks are shared and utilized, to promote international collaboration and accelerate AI research. To promote implementation of AI technology, governments must promote regulatory reform to reduce impeding factors in AI related fields.

· 2.5. International co operation for trustworthy AI

a) Governments, including developing countries and with stakeholders, should actively cooperate to advance these principles and to progress on responsible stewardship of trustworthy AI. b) Governments should work together in the OECD and other global and regional fora to foster the sharing of AI knowledge, as appropriate. They should encourage international, crosssectoral and open multi stakeholder initiatives to garner long term expertise on AI. c) Governments should promote the development of multi stakeholder, consensus driven global technical standards for interoperable and trustworthy AI. d) Governments should also encourage the development, and their own use, of internationally comparable metrics to measure AI research, development and deployment, and gather the evidence base to assess progress in the implementation of these principles.

• Foster Innovation and Open Development

To better understand the impact of AI and explore the broad diversity of AI implementations, public policy should encourage investment in AI R&D. Governments should support the controlled testing of AI systems to help industry, academia, and other stakeholders improve the technology. [Recommendations] • Fuel AI innovation: Public policy should promote investment, make available funds for R&D, and address barriers to AI development and adoption. • Address global societal challenges: AI powered flagship initiatives should be funded to find solutions to the world’s greatest challenges such as curing cancer, ensuring food security, controlling climate change, and achieving inclusive economic growth. • Allow for experimentation: Governments should create the conditions necessary for the controlled testing and experimentation of AI in the real world, such as designating self driving test sites in cities. • Prepare a workforce for AI: Governments should create incentives for students to pursue courses of study that will allow them to create the next generation of AI. • Lead by example: Governments should lead the way on demonstrating the applications of AI in its interactions with citizens and invest sufficiently in infrastructure to support and deliver AI based services. • Partnering for AI: Governments should partner with industry, academia, and other stakeholders for the promotion of AI and debate ways to maximize its benefits for the economy.

· 5. INTERESTS OF AI TECHNOLOGIES DEVELOPMENT OUTWEIGH THE INTERESTS OF COMPETITION

5.1. Accuracy of AI systems comparisons. In order to maintain fair competition and effective cooperation of developers, AI Actors are encouraged to use the most reliable and comparable information about the capabilities of AI systems with regards to a certain task and ensure the uniformity of measurement methodologies when comparing AI systems with one another. 5.2. Development of competencies. AI Actors are encouraged to follow practices adopted in the professional community, maintain a proper level of professional competence required for safe and effective work with AI systems and promote the improvement of professional competence of experts in the field of AI, i.a. within programs and educational disciplines on AI ethics. 5.3. Cooperation of developers. AI Actors are encouraged to cooperate within their community and among developers in particular, i.a. through informing each other about the identification of critical vulnerabilities in order to prevent them from spreading, and make efforts to improve the quality and availability of resources in the field of AI systems development, i.a. by: • increasing the availability of data (including marked up data), • ensuring the compatibility of the developed AI systems where applicable; • creating conditions for the formation of a international school of AI technologies development, including publicly available repositories of libraries and network models, available development tools, open international frameworks, etc.; • sharing information about the best practices of AI technologies development; • organizing and hosting conferences, hackathons and public competitions, as well as high school and student Olympiads, or participating in them; • increasing the availability of knowledge and encouraging the use of open knowledge databases; • creating conditions for attracting investments in AI technologies development from private investors, business angels, venture funds and private equity funds; • stimulating scientific, educational and awareness raising activities in the field of AI by participating in the projects and activities of leading research centers and educational organizations.
