SLOVENIA, July 15 - This renewed vision for GPAI, announced at the New Delhi Summit convened on 3–4 July 2024 by GPAI Chair India, combines the respective expertise and capabilities of the GPAI and the OECD to expand their collective reach.

The new integrated partnership initially brings together OECD Members and GPAI countries – 44 in total, across six continents. It aims to welcome new members, including developing and emerging economies, committed to the OECD Recommendation on Artificial Intelligence.

The integrated partnership builds important bridges between AI policy development and research, and among countries on an equal footing that share similar approaches to AI opportunities and risks. The partnership will also capitalise on the extensive, multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder expertise of an AI expert community, pooling the networks and groups currently contributing to the GPAI and OECD. The existing GPAI Expert Support Centres – in Paris, France, Montreal, Canada, and Tokyo, Japan – will continue to take an active role in shaping and advancing the new partnership’s work.

Slovenia joined the GPAI as a founding member, building on the initiative of Canada and France, which emerged from the G7 group. Over a period of four years, the GPAI has developed into a multilateral initiative for cooperation and policy coordination in the field of AI among like-minded partners at the global level. Throughout the period of GPAI activity, Slovenian experts in the fields of responsible AI development, innovation and commercialisation, and data management have actively participated in the working groups. International organisations such as UNESCO and the EU are also members of the GPAI.
