Belgrade to host Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence Summit in December

What does artificial intelligence bring to humanity? Representatives from over 40 countries and prominent experts in the field will gather in Belgrade in early December to discuss this question and many other topics related to the development and application of artificial intelligence, announced the Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation of Serbia.

The Republic of Serbia, as this year’s host of the prestigious Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) Summit, organized in 2024 in collaboration with the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, the Government of the Republic of Serbia, the Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation, the Office for IT and e-Government, and the United Nations Development Program, with the support of the President of the Republic of Serbia and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), will bring together leading global AI experts, GPAI member country representatives, international organizations, industry leaders, and members of the academic community.

The Belgrade Summit, scheduled for December 3-4, will focus on the responsible development of artificial intelligence and leveraging it to benefit society as a whole. The adoption of the Belgrade Declaration will be the Summit’s main outcome, concentrating on these objectives. Over 500 international experts are expected to attend, with more than 70 speakers participating across 25 sessions. Among them is Yoshua Bengio, a Canadian computer scientist, best known for his work on artificial neural networks, the press release says.

The Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence is an international initiative founded with the aim of dealing with responsible development and use of artificial intelligence. The partnership was first proposed by Canada and France at the 44th summit of G7 countries, and it was officially launched in June 2020.

The Belgrade summit is the first since the OECD has become the host of the partnership this year.
