Responsible AI Due Diligence: An Update on Global Regulations and New Enterprise Guidance by OECD

This brief from the Governance & Accountability Institute is an accessible primer on the OECD's Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible AI, and especially for senior leaders. It unpacks the six-step due diligence process that underpins the OECD's guidance; explains the risks the guidance addresses across suppliers, operators, and users of AI systems; and highlights why the OECD guidance matters for companies aiming to stay ahead of tightening global compliance expectations. It lays out six due diligence steps: embedding OECD guidance on responsible business into policies and management systems; identifying and assessing actual and potential adverse impacts; ceasing, preventing, and mitigating adverse impacts; tracking implementation and results of due diligence activities; communicating actions to address impacts; and providing for or co-operating in remediation when appropriate.
