RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Sept. 14, 2022, /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

Following a Ministerial roundtable at the Global AI Summit, member states of

the Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO) agreed to adopt the Riyadh AI Call

for Action Declaration (RAICA), which seeks to use AI technology to benefit

people, communities, nations, and the world as a whole.

The declaration was signed by all members of DCO including Bahrain, Cyprus,

Djibouti, Kuwait, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Jordan, Rwanda, and Saudi

Arabia.

The call to action aims to advance the DCO's commitment to identify and address

present, emerging and future humanitarian issues in the field of AI. The

declaration highlights the different ways AI can be used as a tool to benefit

the lives of millions of people around the world by improving the quality of

work, developing better designed public policies and nurturing efficiencies

into the ecosystem.

Deemah Al Yahya, Secretary General of DCO, said: "DCO was created with the

ethos of establishing an inclusive digital economy through collaboration across

diverse entities at all levels. The RAICA declaration is this idea put into

practice. By signing this declaration all DCO member states are reaffirming

their shared desire to usher in a brighter future for all by harnessing the

huge potential of AI to improve the lives of people around the world."

The declaration highlights seven key pillars that will help to bring this

future into reality. Each is comprised of principles that seek to address

methods to ensure that benefits of AI are enjoyed by all while harming none.

Close the digital divide

Empower underprivileged communities

Promote digital development

Ensure fairness and non-discrimination

Drive innovation in AI

Combat climate change by using AI

Engage in international collaboration and cooperation

DCO has developed a series of action areas to help these pillars to be

implemented. To do this the member countries will push to provide all

individuals with the resources they need to obtain AI literacy; work with

organizations to identify how to employ AI to advance human rights; improve

digital infrastructure; adopt comprehensive AI ethical guidelines; develop

AI-supported initiatives to address global challenges; use AI to reduce human

impact on the climate; and setup multilateral collaboration to accelerate AI

accessibility across nations.
