IN ‘INTEGRATED PARTNERSHIP’ OF GLOBAL AI GROUP WITH OECD, SOME TRADE-OFFS FOR
INDIA


THE GPAI, SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2020, WAS SUPPORTED BY A SECRETARIAT HOSTED BY
THE OECD. THIS PAPER HAS LEARNT THAT THE INITIAL CONVERSATION WAS THAT THE GPAI
WOULD WORK UNDER THE OECD’S WORKING PARTY ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE GOVERNANCE
(AIGO).

Effectively, India managed to negotiate that the GPAI banner be kept alive, and
function alongside OECD members, rather than working under them.

During the sixth ministerial council meeting of the Global Partnership on
Artificial Intelligence (GPAI), representatives of the grouping announced an
“integrated partnership” with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) to bring “OECD members and GPAI countries on equal footing,
under the GPAI brand” – but to arrive at this consensus, some trade-offs had to
be made behind the scenes, The Indian Express has learnt.

The GPAI, since its inception in 2020, was supported by a secretariat hosted by
the OECD. This paper has learnt that the initial conversation was that the GPAI
would work under the OECD’s Working Party on Artificial Intelligence Governance
(AIGO). However, countries like India and Japan are understood to have pushed
back on it, with concerns that the efforts they have made at making GPAI a
relevant multi stakeholder organisation might get diluted if it were to work
under the OECD.

As such, the announcement that the GPAI will have an “integrated partnership”
with the OECD, bringing OECD members and GPAI countries together under the
former’s brand is a strategic win for India and like-minded countries.

There were also concerns that because India, and a large part of the developing
world, is not a member of the OECD, if the GPAI was to go under the AIGO, it
would reduce the space for them to raise issues relevant to the AI-related
discourse in their respective nations. The joint announcement made Wednesday
says that it “underscores that all members of the integrated partnership will
participate equally, without distinction or disparities, in the partnership’s
activities and its decision-making”. It also added that the integrated
partnership may consider the development of its specific working methods,
through consensus, based on the equal footing of all members irrespective of
their OECD membership status.



But, there have been trade-offs, especially on where the secretariat of the GPAI
would be hosted. It is understood that since India took over the presidency of
the GPAI, it had been pushing for an independent secretariat, to essentially
take the grouping outside of the OECD’s purview. This has not come to fruition,
as the GPAI’s secretariat is expected to continue with the OECD.

“The secretariat at the OECD was coming to an end around May, but the whole
thing was in a limbo on where the secretariat would be after that. India wanted
either an independent or a rotation secretariat, but OECD seems to have put its
foot down in keeping the secretariat with itself,” a senior government official
said. “The idea is that GPAI will remain associated with OECD. Non-OECD GPAI
members will be treated on par with OECD members,” a second senior government
official said on condition of anonymity.



Launched in June 2020 with 15 members, GPAI is the fruition of an idea developed
within the G7. Today, GPAI’s 29 members are Argentina, Australia, Belgium,
Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Ireland,
Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, the Republic
of Korea, Senegal, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the
United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union.

‘How is that an offence?’: SC asks in case over ‘Jai Shri Ram’ slogans in
Karnataka mosque
India4 min ago

The Supreme Court is questioning whether chanting "Jai Shri Ram" in a mosque is
an offence. They have asked the Karnataka government for a response and
scheduled a hearing for next month. Two people were arrested for the incident in
September 2023, but the FIR was quashed by the Karnataka High Court due to lack
of evidence.
