Today, Canada, Hong Kong, Macau, and New Zealand have joined this group, as well as EDPB members: Poland, Bulgaria, Croatia, Finland, Luxembourg, Sweden, Spain, Germany, Belgium, and Italy.

The first signatories - CNIL and DPC - invited other supervisory authorities through the European Data Protection Board to join the initiative and sign the statement at the 47th Global Privacy Assembly international conference held in Seoul on September 15-19, 2025.

The statement is based on the development of clear standards and requirements to ensure the innovative yet safe development of artificial intelligence. The signatories also commit to exchanging information and establishing common security policies, as well as continuously monitoring the impact of artificial intelligence technology on society and the economy.

The document also focuses on specific risks associated with artificial intelligence, such as discrimination, partiality, misinformation and hallucinations.

A joint signing ceremony was held on 17 September on the occasion of the GPA Seoul 2025 conference. During the ceremony, representatives of data protection authorities gathered to formally express their support for the initiative, thereby confirming their commitment to innovative privacy-protective artificial intelligence.

The ceremonial meeting was also attended by Mirosław Wróblewski, President of the Personal Data Protection Office, who pointed out: "The law often lags behind technological developments, but our task is to do everything we can to reduce this gap as much as possible in order to effectively protect fundamental rights while enabling the creation of innovations needed by humanity. The development of artificial intelligence technology is forcing changes in the law governing the protection of personal data. That is why the Personal Data Protection Office requires, among other things, that the protection of personal data be taken into account at the stage of designing technological solutions, cooperating in this area with both business and public administration."
