AI for Developing Countries Forum at United Nations

In recent months, AI governance has taken centre stage, gaining international acceptance and momentum; Partha Gopalakrishnan has been actively championing AI that delivers real value for the Global South across multiple United Nations forums.

  • Delivered a summer keynote at the United Nations in Vienna on AI FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES FORUM
  • Moderated a panel on blended finance mechanisms as catalytic tools for AI development in the Global South.
  • Advanced FAIR standards for market entry at the AIFOD forum.
  • Contributed to the consultations of the United Nations Independent International Scientific Panel on AI and engaged in the Global Dialogue on AI Governance.

Across these platforms, one message stands out: pair blended finance with clear, implementable FAIR Standards (Future AI Investment Responsibility) to enable responsible market entry and scale across the Global South.

ABC27 quoted the Panel discussion:

Partha Gopalakrishnan of PG Advisors guided discussions that challenged traditional investment metrics. Revolutionary thinking emerged from the “Blended Finance Mechanisms” panel.
