OPENTEXT AMONG FIRST CANADIAN COMPANIES TO JOIN OECD GLOBAL SAFE AI REPORTING FRAMEWORK

Open Text Corp. has joined the OECD's Hiroshima AI Process Reporting Framework, the international mechanism where organizations demonstrate alignment with the G7's voluntary code of conduct for the safe development and deployment of advanced artificial intelligence.

"Trust in AI begins with the data underneath the model and how it is governed, protected and contextualized," said Ayman Antoun, chief executive officer of Open Text. "Open Text has been building that foundation for 35 years. Our participation in HAIP is a natural extension of that commitment and ensures the emerging global framework reflects the realities of enterprise-grade agentic AI deployment."

The move positions Open Text, steward of human, machine and transactional data for more than 120,000 enterprises and governments in 180 countries, as an active participant in ensuring agentic AI can be trusted and drive measurable value for public and private sectors alike. More than $15-trillion in annual business-to-business commerce flows through Open Text's business network, and the company manages the unstructured content and machine-generated operational data that regulated enterprises run on every day, giving it a data foundation of exceptional breadth to bring to the global policy conversation.

The data foundation for trustworthy AI

Open Text manages the three data domains critical to enterprise AI: human data and the unstructured content, documents and records that capture organizational knowledge; machine data, operational and system-generated information from information technology service management, cybersecurity and supply chain platforms; and transaction data, B2B trade flows and supply chain events across more than one million trading partners worldwide. Open Text Aviator AI solutions are embedded across this governed ecosystem, applying enterprise-grade security, compliance controls and data lineage to every AI interaction, directly supporting the transparency and accountability principles HAIP is designed to advance.

"We are client zero for our own products and AI, so we know first-hand that trusted agentic AI starts with data governance. Before any AI deployment, the first question we ask is how the data is governed, secured and controlled. That is exactly the discipline HAIP codifies and why joining this framework was the right next step for Open Text and the clients we serve worldwide," said Shannon Bell, executive vice-president, chief digital officer and chief information officer, Open Text.

Building on Canada's leadership in responsible AI

Open Text was among the first signatories to Canada's Voluntary Code of Conduct on the Responsible Development and Management of Advanced Generative AI Systems. Its HAIP participation connects that domestic commitment to G7-wide norms, reinforcing Canada's position as a global AI leader and Open Text's role in advancing responsible AI governance internationally.
