OpenUK

We received a nice thankyou letter from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, IndiaAI, for our participation in the India AI Impact Summit. We know our work helped to put open source AI on the international political agenda for the summit, and it’s great to see a mention of it in the summit statement. But that’s only a step in a journey. We look forward to Switzerland’s leadership in 2027 when there will likely be more focus on regulation, governance and international standards as part of global policy. Thank you again for your collaboration, India 🙏 #AIImpactSummit #IndiaAI #globalaisummit2027 #opensourceai
