HAIP is transforming transparency from a compliance burden to a competitive advantage

This blog article is part of a series on the Hiroshima AI Process (HAIP) Reporting Framework. The series explores different dimensions of the framework, its role in supporting trustworthy AI, and insights emerging from reports submitted by participating organisations.

In our first post on the AI Wonk, Aliki Foinikopoulou, our Head of Global Public Policy, discussed the rapid evolution of the AI landscape. Less than a year later, the emergence of new technologies and a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape have added new layers of complexity. Against this backdrop, trust is more critical than ever. AI presents a generational opportunity, but harnessing it responsibly requires governments to play an active, deliberate role in shaping its development and deployment.

Salesforce was pleased to be one of the first companies to contribute to the reporting framework developed by the OECD under the Hiroshima AI Process (HAIP), and we were pleased to have contributed to the second version of the reporting framework, which offers an expanded view of the AI value chain. Over the last year, enterprise agentic AI has fundamentally shifted the business landscape, transforming organisations from simply using AI to becoming agentic enterprises. Now, more than ever, a common framework and language to articulate a path to trusted AI are critical.

The governance gap we can’t afford to ignore

The most consequential shift in artificial intelligence is not happening in a research lab. It is happening right now through decisions in boardrooms, legislatures, and the daily choices of millions of people. Governance frameworks need to keep up.
