The GPAI Innovation and Commercialization Working Group is committed to ensuring that AI improves the conditions around crop production conditions, livestock welfare and product traceability, at the same time as conserving water resources and land reserves.

To gain a clearer understanding of the challenges posed by AI for the future on work. That is the ambition of the Living Lab virtual laboratory that GPAI experts are currently working on. A genuine co-creation ecosystem for people-centric research and innovation.

AI could play a major role in the drug discovery process. The current ecosystem is preventing this technology from flourishing. The group of GPAI

Generally unfamiliar with AI, SMEs nevertheless provide 80-90% of all jobs and generate 70-75% of GDP, depending on the country concerned.

Whether future computer scientists or social scientists, students from around the world have temporarily quit their lecture theatres to become investigators for GPAI. It’s a valuable way for these future professionals to get to grips with the issues of AI in the corporate world and prepare for their own futures in that world.

Next year, the GPAI experts intend to extend their thinking to include the effects of climate change on biodiversity in order to understand how AI tools can be used for this purpose.
