The G7 Policy Roadmap on Artificial Intelligence

The Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI), as co-chair of Think7 (T7) - the official engagement group of the Italian G7 presidency that brings together leading think tanks and research centres from around the world – has organised two events to present and discuss two papers aimed at analysing the challenges and opportunities stemming from the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), with a particular focus on its impact on competition and privacy.

The first IAI policy paper, presented on October 3, 2024, during the event “Fostering AI Innovation and Competition. A G7 Policy Roadmap”, aimed to discuss how to promote innovation and competitiveness in AI. To this end, it questioned the role of national competition authorities, particularly in light of a series of related G7 events, namely: the Summit with Competition Authorities on October 3-4, the Ministerial Meeting on Industry and Technological Innovation on October 10, and the Ministerial Meeting on Technology and Digital on October 15.

The secondo IAI paper, presented on October 9, 2024, at the event “Responsible AI Adoption: Protecting Privacy while Unlocking Innovation among the G7”,focused on the unprecedented challenge policymakers face in balancing innovation and privacy, also during the G7 Data Protection Agencies Summit (10-11 October). During the event, policymakers, experts and industry representatives discussed principles and practical approaches to protect privacy and promote transparency, while ensuring the necessary impetus for technological innovation.
