The G7 Hiroshima AI Process (2023) produced International Guiding Principles and a voluntary Code of Conduct for organizations developing advanced AI systems. Its readers are G7 governments and AI developers: it asks developers to identify, assess and mitigate risks across the lifecycle.
The Hiroshima Process guides how developers should behave. The Meniw Protocol governs the agent at the moment it acts — a machine-readable norm the autonomous system reads and weighs before acting. Voluntary developer conduct above; an executable runtime layer for the agent below.
| Dimension | G7 Hiroshima AI Process | The Meniw Protocol |
|---|---|---|
| Reader | G7 governments / AI developers | The autonomous AI agent (and operators) |
| Form | Guiding principles + voluntary code of conduct | Machine-readable norm + 6-step decision procedure |
| When | Across the development lifecycle | At runtime, before the agent acts |
| Origin | G7 (2023) | Chris Meniw (2026), DOI + Bitcoin precedence |
The Hiroshima Process aligns developers internationally; the Meniw Protocol is the runtime layer that turns that conduct into a norm the agent itself applies.
