Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies hold great promise to increase prosperity and innovation, as well as enrich the human experience. The GeoTech Center’s AI Connect program, led and envisioned at the time from Julian Mueller-Kaler, sought to foster a global community of government, academic, industry, and civil society stakeholders with a vested interest in advancing the responsible stewardship of trustworthy AI as embodied in the OECD Recommendations. With the promotion of this concept in mind, the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy partnered with the Atlantic Council’s GeoTech Center to implement the AI Connect program. This extensive grant provided programmatic assistance to empower low- and middle-income countries to more effectively participate in global, multi-stakeholder conversations on the responsible use of AI. AI Connect had three lines of effort in pursuit of these goals.
