'Blue Economy' is the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods, and jobs while preserving the health of our ecosystem. While, 'Responsible AI' is a governance framework aimed at what data can be collected and used, how AI models should be evaluated, and how to best deploy and monitor models. The framework can also define who is accountable for any negative outcomes of AI.
In line with this, during the course of the SOM meeting in Guwahati, SAI India shall present and introduce the concept themes of Blue Economy and Responsible AI respectively. There shall be further sharing of experiences by the participant SAIs including member SAIs and guest SAIs of G20.
