AI Action Summit and main priorities
Over 100 countries gathered to advance inclusive and sustainable AI addressing the paradigm shift in society. The priorities include reducing digital divides, ensuring AI is ethical, safe, secure and trustworthy while narrowing inequalities in developing countries; enabling AI development while avoiding market concentration; and deploying AI to improve work and labour markets for sustainable growth.
Public interest initiatives and cooperation
Founding members established a major initiative that combines a platform and incubator designed to assist, enlarge and reduce division among current efforts focused on AI serving public goals, while also closing technological gaps. This initiative will provide funding, infrastructure, training and coordinated work in areas including data, algorithms, openness and accountability, computing power and expertise to create a dependable AI system that benefits all. Participants discussed AI and energy for the first time together with multiple sectors, leading to sharing of information to back financial commitments to environmentally sound AI technologies and a new observatory tracking AI's energy consumption.
Next steps and signatory countries
Signatories commit to follow-up action at upcoming summits including Kigali and Thailand's Global Forum on the Ethics of AI. Over 60 countries and the African Union Commission and European Union have signed the statement.
