At the 2026 India AI Impact Summit, the Government of India announced the New Delhi Frontier AI Commitments. These commitments will aim to improve access, innovation, and multilingual AI for the Global South.
The agreement brings together leading frontier AI companies to advance inclusive and responsible artificial intelligence including Amazon, Microsoft, Anthropic, Open AI, Google, Meta, Cohere, BharatGen, Gnani AI, and more. Signatories committed to ensuring the development and deployment of their AI systems are accessible across the Global South by reflecting cultural diversity and real-world needs.
These voluntary commitments include:
- Advancing understanding of real-world AI usage through anonymized and aggregated insights to inform policymaking on the impact of AI on jobs, skills, productivity, and economic transformation. This research will inform governments and institutions when developing AI strategies to maximize the benefits of major technological change while mitigating risks; and
- Strengthening multilingual and contextual evaluations to improve the effectiveness of AI systems across languages, cultures, and real-world use. Through collaboration with governments and local organizations, signatories will develop systems that support under-represented languages and cultural contexts, thereby ensuring equitable access to high-quality AI globally.
These commitments align with the AI Adoption Initiative’s calls for collaboration between the public and private sector to improve access to AI, ultimately enabling adoption comparisons across countries.
AIAI looks forward to seeing the progress made by signatories in the lead up to the 2027 Global AI Summit in Switzerland.
