GPAI summit: Countries back India’s approach on safe AI

Twenty-nine-member countries, including India, the UK, Japan and France, which are part of the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI), on Wednesday affirmed their commitment to work towards advanced, safe, secure, and trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI), while also looking at relevant regulations, policies, standards, and other initiatives. This assumes significance given that India, which is hosting the GPAI summit this year, and also the lead chair for GPAI in 2024, has been pitching for regulating AI through the prism of user harm, while not hindering the innovation.Further, all the member-countries have also agreed to jointly come up with a global set of basic principles that will shape the path for AI regulations.“
