Hiroshima Process Interna�onal Guiding Principles for All AI Actors
1. We emphasize the responsibili�es of all AI actors in promo�ng, as relevant and
appropriate, safe, secure and trustworthy AI. We recognize that actors across the
lifecycle will have different responsibili�es and different needs with regard to the
safety, security, and trustworthiness of AI. We encourage all AI actors to read and
understand the “Hiroshima Process Interna�onal Guiding Principles for Organiza�ons
Developing Advanced AI Systems (October 30, 2023)” 1 with due considera�on to their
capacity and their role within the lifecycle.
2. The following 11 principles of the “Hiroshima Process Interna�onal Guiding Principles
for Organiza�ons Developing Advanced AI Systems” should be applied to all AI actors
when and as relevant and appropriate, in appropriate forms, to cover the design,
development, deployment, provision and use of advanced AI systems, recognizing that
some elements are only possible to apply to organiza�ons developing advanced AI
systems.
Ⅰ. Take appropriate measures throughout the development of advanced AI systems,
including prior to and throughout their deployment and placement on the market, to
identify, evaluate, and mitigate risks across the AI lifecycle.
Ⅱ. Identify and mitigate vulnerabilities, and, where appropriate, incidents and patterns of
misuse, after deployment including placement on the market.
Ⅲ. Publicly report advanced AI systems’ capabilities, limitations and domains of
appropriate and inappropriate use, to support ensuring sufficient transparency, thereby
contributing to increase accountability.
Ⅳ. Work towards responsible information sharing and reporting of incidents among
organizations developing advanced AI systems including with industry, governments, civil
society, and academia.
Ⅴ. Develop, implement and disclose AI governance and risk management policies,
grounded in a risk-based approach – including privacy policies, and mitigation measures,
in particular for organizations developing advanced AI systems.
Ⅵ. Invest in and implement robust security controls, including physical security,
cybersecurity and insider threat safeguards across the AI lifecycle.
Ⅶ. Develop and deploy reliable content authentication and provenance mechanisms,
where technically feasible, such as watermarking or other techniques to enable users to

identify AI-generated content.
Ⅷ. Prioritize research to mitigate societal, safety and security risks and prioritize
investment in effective mitigation measures.
Ⅸ. Prioritize the development of advanced AI systems to address the world’s greatest
challenges, notably but not limited to the climate crisis, global health and education.
Ⅹ. Advance the development of and, where appropriate, adoption of international
technical standards.
Ⅺ. Implement appropriate data input measures and protections for personal data and
intellectual property.
3. In addi�on, AI actors should follow the 12th principle.
Ⅻ. Promote and contribute to trustworthy and responsible use of advanced AI systems
AI actors should seek opportuni�es to improve their own and, where appropriate, others’
digital literacy, training and awareness, including on issues such as how advanced AI systems
may exacerbate certain risks (e.g. with regard to the spread of disinforma�on) and/or create
new ones.
All relevant AI actors are encouraged to cooperate and share informa�on, as appropriate, to
iden�fy and address emerging risks and vulnerabili�es of advanced AI systems.
