A Path for the G7 to Foster Rule of Law in a World of Uncertainty
from Part II - Evolving Regulatory and Governance Frameworks
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 August 2025
This chapter examines the G7’s Hiroshima AI Process (HAIP) and its flagship document, the Hiroshima Code of Conduct, as key drivers in global AI governance. Through an analysis of AI regulations and guidance across G7 member states, it highlights the alignment between national frameworks and the Code’s principles. The chapter outlines concrete measures for translating these principles into G7-level policies and adjusting national standards accordingly. It also proposes enhancements to the Code, including a common AI governance vocabulary, improved risk management, lifecycle standard harmonization, stakeholder engagement, redress mechanisms for AI harms, and guidelines for government AI use, in order to uphold democracy and human rights. Ultimately, this chapter presents international alignment as a step forward in building common principles on AI governance, and provides recommendations to strengthen the G7’s leadership in shaping a global AI landscape rooted in the rule of law, democracy, and human rights.
