At their summit in Hiroshima, G7 leaders agreed in May 2023 to start the Hiroshima AI Process, cabinet-level talks among member governments on generative AI, including intellectual property and disinformation, with findings due by the end of the year. Their communiqué of 20 May said generative AI needed governance in line with G7 values.
