ReutersUnder the chairmanship of India, the 29 members of the global partnership on artificial intelligence (GPAI) have agreed for a “renewed vision" for GPAI turning into a central body for all matters related to AI. In a meeting held on July 3, the member nations have agreed for an integrated partnership with the OECD by bringing together all current OECD members as well as GPAI countries on equal footing, under the GPAI brand, the ministry of electronics and IT said in a late evening statement.
ET had on Wednesday reported that India had managed to convince GPAI members including the US, France, Canada, the UK, Japan, Korea, Brazil, and Argentina to agree on making GPAI the apex authority for all matters related to AI, which included global regulations and a common framework. The idea was to give a greater voice to nations from the Global South in AI collaboration and policy making.
The 29-member international initiative on AI also agreed to a “renewed vision for GPAI through an integrated partnership with the OECD” by bringing together all current OECD members as well as GPAI countries on equal footing, under the GPAI brand, the ministry said.
India is the current chair of GPAI, a major international initiative focused on responsible development and use of artificial intelligence. The chairmanship of GPAI will now be transferred to Siberia.
By expanding GPAI to more countries and having it as an apex body, the attempt is to have their greater say in global policy making on AI, which is transforming every sphere of life and enterprise.
On Wednesday, Vaishnaw said that the government is working on legislation for AI with a focus on containing the risks and placing adequate guardrails around the technology.
“We in India have basically understood that AI can be a big tool to solve many of the economic and social challenges we face. Simultaneously, we need to contain the risks which AI brings. We also believe that the solution has to come through a global thought process,” Vaishnaw said.
The global partnership on artificial intelligence (GPAI) has also agreed to work together towards fostering a trustworthy and human-centric artificial intelligence (AI) through an inclusive, multi-stakeholder approach, the government said on Wednesday.
Under the chairmanship of India, the 29 members of GPAI have, while recognising the potential of AI in shaping the future of societies and economies, also cautioned about the emerging risks and challenges posed by the technology, particularly advanced AI systems, the ministry of electronics and information technology said.
While countries and other organisations are also working on regulations to govern various aspects of AI, India wants to push GPAI as the common voice of the global south when it comes to regulating this technology, a government official told ET.
On Wednesday, GPAI members also reaffirmed their collective commitment to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)’s and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation’s recommendations on AI and its ethics, the IT ministry said.

"GPAI is a great institution which has built the foundations for global thought process around AI. Its time to think collaboratively. We have the global South on-board and all of us have to work together to ensure that humanity harnesses the potential while containing the risks," union minister for electronics and IT, Ashwini Vaishnaw said while inaugurating the India AI Summit 2024.
