They set out values-based principles such as inclusive: Which statement accurately describes the OECD AI
The OECD AI Principles are values-based principles plus policymaker recommendations, forming the first intergovernmental standard for trustworthy AI.
The question
An international policy team wants a widely adopted, values-based reference for trustworthy AI that predates most binding AI laws and was the first intergovernmental AI standard. Which statement accurately describes the OECD AI Principles?

- They are a certifiable AI management-system standard specifying Plan-Do-Check-Act controls that an organization can be independently audited against and then formally certified to over time.Plausible but that describes ISO/IEC 42001; the OECD Principles are a values-based recommendation, not a certifiable management-system standard.
- They define four core functions of govern, map, measure and manage, giving organizations a voluntary process to identify and treat risks across the AI lifecycle.Almost right in tone but that is the NIST AI RMF structure; the OECD framework is organized around principles and policymaker recommendations.
- They are a binding regulation that classifies AI into prohibited, high, limited and minimal risk tiers and imposes conformity assessments on high-risk providers.Plausible-sounding but the risk-tier regulation is the EU AI Act; the OECD Principles are non-binding recommendations, not a tiered legal regime.
- They set out values-based principles such as inclusive growth, human-centered values, transparency, robustness and accountability, plus recommendations addressed to policymakers. ✓Correct: the OECD instrument pairs five values-based principles with five recommendations to policymakers for trustworthy AI.
The trap
Mixing up the OECD Principles with the NIST RMF functions or ISO 42001 certification. How to remember it
The OECD AI Principles are values-based principles plus policymaker recommendations, forming the first intergovernmental standard for trustworthy AI.
