New Delhi: After Prime Minister Narendra Modi assumed the presidency of the G20, the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI), an international organization to support the responsible and human-centered development and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), has also shifted to India. Rajiv Chandrasekhar, Union Minister of State for Electronics, IT, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, will attend the GPAI conference in Tokyo on November 21, representing India in the transfer of power from the current chairmanship, France.
India is one of the founding member states of GPAI, a consortium of 20 countries including the United States, UK, European Union, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Korea and Singapore. India came out on top by securing more than two-thirds of the votes in the election for the post of Council Chair among the member states. After that, Canada and the United States, which received the most votes, have been placed on the steering committee of the association. This designation is another recognition of India’s achievements in the international technology sector. GPAI is an international platform for assessing the opportunities and challenges in the field of Artificial Intelligence by studying in depth the developments in different countries. The GPAI Alliance aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice by encouraging extensive research studies in this field. By 2035, it is estimated that the Indian economy will have an income of 967 billion dollars from the artificial intelligence sector alone. India’s domestic market of US$ 5 trillion by 2025 will increase by 10 percent in growth.
GPAI’s main mission is to guide the responsible development and growth of nations by protecting human rights and ensuring economic growth, in collaboration with various stakeholders and international organizations in the field and involving leaders from industry, civil society, governments and academic institutions.
