gpai summit 2023: GPAI Summit 2023: 29 nations adopt New Delhi resolution

“The New Delhi declaration promises to position GPAI at the front and centre of shaping the future of AI in terms of both innovation and creating collaborative AI between partner nations to create applications in healthcare, agriculture and other areas,” Chandrasekhar said.

All GPAI members, he said, had also agreed that the group would lead global conversations on shaping the future of AI governance as well as keeping it safe and trusted.

“GPAI, in keeping with values of our partner countries, will be an inclusive movement that will increasingly focus on including countries from the Global South and making available the benefits of AI, its platforms and solutions to all of the people,” he said.

Like-minded countries will have to move faster on such regulations to ensure that by the time all GPAI countries meet next year in Korea, there are definitive granular regulations that all nations have around AI, Chandrasekhar told ET.

“It is impossible to exclude people or countries who are on the internet from the impact of AI. As the global internet expands and includes more users, it is better for all of us that they have access to safe and trusted AI rather than bad actors,” he said.

Government-level societies such as GPAI and other civil societies will now have to be more granular and get down to defining the contours of the rules that will define how users interact with AI, Chandrasekhar said, adding that India will be among the most important nations that shape this future.“We will be among the countries that shape the future of AI simply because we are one of the largest connected internet and data blocks globally. We want AI to be shaped as safe, trusted, open and accountable,” he told ET.

While most like-minded countries and open democracies would be open to agreeing to the minimum standards of openness, safety and transparency around AI, there would always be some power blocs which disagree with these definitions, Chandrasekhar said, adding that if “vast majorities” of countries could agree to certain minimum terms, it would help deal with such countries or nations which disagree.

In the declaration signed on Wednesday, GPAI member nations also acknowledged the need to harness new opportunities and mitigate the risks arising from the development and deployment of AI.

“This includes concerns around misinformation and disinformation, unemployment, lack of transparency and fairness, protection of intellectual property and personal data, and threats to human rights and democratic values,” the declaration read. “We further acknowledge the need for equitable access to resources, which must be considered, accounted for, or addressed in order for societies to benefit from and build competitive AI solutions.”
