India to take over Chair of Global Partnership on AI for 2022-23. India will take over the chair of the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence for 2022-23 at a meeting of the body in Tokyo on November 21, the Ministry of Electronics and IT said on Sunday. In the election to the Council Chair, India had received more than a two-thirds majority of first-preference votes while Canada and the United States of America ranked in the next two best places in the tally – so they were elected to the two additional government seats on the Steering Committee, the ministry said in a statement. Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar will represent India at the handover ceremony in Tokyo. "Close on the heels of assuming the presidency of G20, a league of world's largest economies, India will take over the chair of the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI), an international initiative to support responsible and human-centric development and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)," the statement said.

India will take over the chair of the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) from France, the outgoing Council Chair on November 21, 2022 at a meeting to be hold in Tokyo. The Minister of State for Electronics & Information Technology and Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Rajeev Chandrasekhar will represent India at the GPAI meeting. GPAI is an international initiative to support responsible and human-centric development and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This development comes on the heels of assuming the presidency of G20, a league of world's largest economies. GPAI is a congregation of 25 member countries, including the US, the UK, EU, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, and Singapore.

2020年6月に「人間中心」の考えに基づく責任あるAIの開発と使用に取り組む国際的なイニシアティブであるGPAIが設立され、経済産業省は総務省とともに本パートナーシップに参加しました。本シンポジウムは、GPAIの活動を国内に広く周知し、AI原則等の実践に関する国際的な議論への理解を深めることを目的に開催します。GPAIに参加している国内外の専門家を中心とした講演者・パネリストが、GPAIの活動や意義について議論します。

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers powerful new solutions across sectors of the economy to improve the lives of Canadians-from advanced health care to more efficient and sustainable resource development and agriculture. International collaboration and coordination will help realize the full potential of AI to benefit all citizens and accelerate trustworthy technology development, while fostering diversity and inclusion across the AI domain. Today, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, joined leading international AI experts, including representatives from 18 GPAI member countries and the European Union, for the second annual plenary of the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) in Paris, France. During the opening ceremony, Minister Champagne highlighted the progress that GPAI has made in its first year under Canada's chairmanship and formally passed the torch to France, which is taking over as 2021-2022 GPAI Council Chair. The Minister was joined by Cédric O, France's Minister of State for the Digital Transition and Electronic Communication and the new GPAI Lead Council Chair.

The creation of the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) reflects the growing interest of states in AI technologies. The initiative, which brings together 14 countries and the European Union, will help participants establish practical cooperation and formulate common approaches to the development and implementation of AI. At the same time, it is a symptom of the growing technological rivalry in the world, primarily between the United States and China. Russia's ability to interact with the GPAI may be limited for political reasons, but, from a practical point of view, cooperation would help the country implement its national AI strategy. The Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) was officially launched on June 15, 2020, at the initiative of the G7 countries alongside Australia, India, Mexico, New Zealand, South Korea, Singapore, Slovenia and the European Union. According to the Joint Statement from the Founding Members, the GPAI is an "international and multistakeholder initiative to guide the responsible development and use of AI, grounded in human rights, inclusion, diversity, innovation, and economic growth."

India has now joined the league of leading economies including USA, UK, EU, Italy, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, South Korea, & Singapore to launch the Global Partnership on AI. Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) is the first of its kind initiative, aimed to guide responsible development and use of AI, grounded in human rights, inclusion, diversity, innovation, and economic growth. This is also the first initiative of its type for evolving a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities around Artificial Intelligence using the experience and diversity of participating countries. To embark on this goal, GPAI will look to close the gap between theory and practice on Artificial Intelligence by leveraging cutting-edge research and applied action on Artificial Intelligence-related objectives. "We, Australia, France, Canada, Italy, Germany, Mexico, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Slovenia, Singapore, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, have come together to build the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence."

In terms of AI productivity, 2019 would be hard to beat. Twenty-nine new and updated political schemes were announced for domesticating artificial intelligence, according to the United Nations. But one announcement this year -- the formation of the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence -- obviates or overshadows most of the AI development plans published since 2016, when China pushed the world's first statement out. The global partnership, or GPAI, solidified last month. And it only happened after Western democracies (notably the United States) realized that all the go-it-alone development and control approaches in the world will not stop China from dominating the technology all by itself.

As we are evolving towards this unprecedented time of COVID-19, artificial intelligence proved to be one technology that has encompassed almost all aspects of human lives, whether it be healthcare, banking, shopping as well as running businesses amid this crisis. The impact of this pandemic has showcased the significance of this technology, and therefore companies and government entities are catching up their pace with AI-powered solutions. In fact, according to a PwC's report, it has been noted how this technology can be a game-changer for this era and could contribute up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030. A lot of this could be attributed to the popular belief that artificial intelligence has the potential to solve some of the complex real-world business problems. However, despite these incredible outcomes that artificial intelligence harnessed over businesses, the pandemic has highlighted some existing problems related to this technology, including explainability, accuracy, and privacy-related risks.

India has joined international and multi-stakeholder initiative Global Partnership for Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) on Artificial Intelligence (AI) as its founder member. In this alliance, India will join Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Slovenia, the United Kingdom, the US, and the European Union. The Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) is an international and multistakeholder initiative to guide the responsible development and use of AI, grounded in human rights, inclusion, diversity, innovation, and economic growth. On late Monday, India's IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad tweeted to announce the news, saying,"Delighted to announce that India has joined the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence or GPAI today as a founding member. This multi-stakeholder international partnership will promote responsible and human centric development and use of AI." Delighted to announce that India has joined the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence or #GPAI today as a founding member.
