President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic has announced that the Republic of Serbia will be the chairman of the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) for the next three years, in the first and third years as the co-chairman, and in the second as the main chairman, assessing that this is "magnificent news for Serbia."

"It is difficult to emphasize enough how important this is for our country in terms of its presence in the global trends regarding artificial intelligence development," his press office said.

GPAI is an initiative that aims to establish global standards and rules for development of artificial intelligence, as well as to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence globally. It was founded in 2020, at the initiative of President of France Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau.

The secretariat of GPAI is with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the expert centers are in Montreal and Paris, while a new one will be opened in Japan.

Serbia was admitted a little over a year ago, as one of 29 members, by consensus. Among the most important members are the US, the UK, India, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, France, Germany, Turkey, as well as the EU and others.

Last year's GPAI Summit was held in India and was opened by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the presence of a large number of state representatives and experts from around the world. Serbia will have the opportunity to host the next summit, which will be held in Belgrade.

"Proud of Serbia! Great things are yet to come. I congratulate citizens of Serbia!," said President Vucic.
