The OECD and the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) will take part in the India AI Impact Summit 2026, contributing expertise, evidence and global perspectives on how artificial intelligence can deliver real-world impact.
Across the Summit, the OECD.AI team and GPAI are committed to advancing the three guiding pillars of the India AI Impact Summit: People, Planet and Progress. Their engagement focuses on ensuring that AI supports inclusive growth, environmental sustainability and responsible innovation, while strengthening international cooperation and policy coherence.
This page highlights where you can find OECD.AI and GPAI during the Summit, including confirmed events and key topics that matter to their members.
OUR INDIA SUMMIT AGENDA
GPAI Ministerial Council Meeting
🗓️ 20 February, 10:00 – 12:30 (IST) Summit Room, Bharat Mandapam Convention Centre
The India AI Impact Summit will host the GPAI Council Meeting at the Ministerial Level, bringing together ministers and senior representatives from GPAI member countries.
The ministerial meeting will provide a forum to advance GPAI’s mission to promote human-centric, safe, secure, and trustworthy AI, grounded in the OECD Recommendation on AI. Discussions will focus on shaping GPAI’s strategic direction and strengthening international collaboration amid rapid technological change.
AI for inclusive and resilient food systems
🗓️ 20 February 2026, 14.30 – 15.30 (IST) Room 18, Bharat Mandapam Convention Centre
The Government of the Netherlands and the OECD will co-host a flagship event on AI for inclusive and resilient food systems, with the participation of H.E. Mr. Mathias Cormann, Secretary-General of the OECD.
This session leverages the work of the India AI Impact Summit Working Group on Economic Growth and Social Good, co-chaired by the Netherlands and Indonesia. It explores how AI can support the transition to more transparent, responsible, and inclusive agricultural production and distribution within food systems. Discussions will draw on national initiatives and concrete use cases to highlight practical, scalable approaches to improving data sharing, interoperability, risk management, and access to high-quality agricultural data.
Advancing AI transparency in practice
🗓️ 17 February, 11:30 – 12:25 (IST) West Wing Room 4, Bharat Mandapam Convention Centre
Co-hosted by the OECD, Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Infosys and Microsoft, this discussion will explore how to align national and regional policy frameworks with shared expectations for transparency, safety, and accountability.
Anchored in the Hiroshima AI reporting framework for advanced AI systems, the discussion will explore how common reporting practices, risk disclosures, and transparency mechanisms can support both national policy objectives and cross-border trust. Participants will discuss how voluntary frameworks, such as international reporting templates, assurance mechanisms, public–private collaboration on testing and evaluation, can complement national policies by enabling faster learning cycles, supporting innovation, and fostering convergence where it matters most for safety and rights.
Democratising trust: Open-source tooling for safe, secure and trustworthy AI
🗓️ 17 February, 13:30 – 14:25 (IST) Room 9, Bharat Mandapam Convention Centre
Co-hosted by the OECD, the India AI Impact Summit, Mozilla Foundation, ROOST, the UK AI Security Institute, and Mistral AI, this panel will explore the practical landscape of open-source tooling for trustworthy AI. Our experts will:
- Take stock of the current open-source tooling ecosystem and highlight key gaps and challenges.
- Showcase open-source tools that enable both technical and non-technical stakeholders to monitor and assess AI safety, security, and trustworthiness.
- Examine how open-source approaches can help build capacity in underrepresented regions and communities.
- Present the OECD.AI Catalogue of Tools and Metrics for Trustworthy AI and launch an open call for submissions of open-source tools, inviting AI practitioners worldwide to contribute.
Summit topics that matter to the OECD and GPAI
In addition to confirmed events, the OECD and GPAI are actively engaged across the Summit through themes that reflect their long-standing policy work and global mandates.
Governing with AI in the public sector
Governments are increasingly using AI to improve public services and policy delivery. The OECD has work that focuses on how public authorities can adopt AI responsibly, ensuring human oversight, fairness and accountability, while sharing lessons and capabilities across countries.
Monitoring risks and learning from AI incidents
Effective AI governance depends on understanding real-world risks and harms. Through global monitoring efforts, the OECD and GPAI promote shared approaches to reporting and learning from AI incidents, including in emerging and developing economies.
