GPAI stands for Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence.

− It is an international initiative focused on ensuring responsible and transparent use of Al.
− The partnership was launched in 2020 by 15 countries and the European Union.
− presently 29 members
− The goal of the partnership is to develop and share best practices for the ethical and safe development and
deployment of AI technologies.
− Experts from academia, industry, and civil society collaborate to achieve this goal.
− The Montreal Declaration for Responsible AI is a document that outlines a set of ethical principles for the
development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI).
− It was created by a group of AI researchers and industry professionals who gathered in Montreal, Canada in 2018
to discuss the ethical implications of AI.

and personal career capabilities.

Digital India BHASHINI (BHASHA INterface for India)

• It is India's Artificial Intelligence (AI) led language translation platform.
• A Bhashini Platform will make Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) resources available
to MSME, Startups and Individual Innovators in the public domain.
• Bhashini Platform is a part of the National Language Translation Mission under Ministry of Electronics and
Information Technology
• Mission Aim- To ensure that as more Indians connect to the internet, they are able to access global content in their
own languages
• Significance- It will empower Indian citizens by connecting them to the Digital Initiatives of the country in their
own language thereby leading to digital inclusion

National Educational Alliance for Technology (NEAT) Scheme

• It is an initiative of Ministry of education
• The scheme aims to use Artificial Intelligence to make learning more personalized and customized as per the
requirements of the learner.
• National Educational Alliance for Technology (NEAT) is to use technology for better learning outcomes in Higher
Education
• AICTE

Generative Al is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on creating machines that can generate new, original
content. This content can take many forms. including text, images, music, and even videos.

Generative AI systems are designed to learn patterns and features from existing data, and then use this knowledge to
create new content that is similar to the original data
carry out research on weather and climate, bioinformatics, computational chemistry, molecular dynamics, artificial
intelligence (AI), machine learning, data science, etc.

• FLOPS (floating point operations per second) are typically used to measure the performance of a computer's
processor.
• China highest super computer followed by USA

PARAM Ganga
High-Performance Computational (HPC) facility at IIT Roorkee

Having supercomputing capacity of 1.66 Petaflops.

Established by C-DAC under NSM.

Application
Aid researchers to solve complex problems of national importance and global significance.

Essential computer environment for modern-day research along with theoretical and experimental work.

Provide computational power to user community of IIT Roorkee and neighbouring academic institutions.

National Supercomputing Mission (NSM)

• Announced in 2015
• Estimated cost of Rs. 4,500 crores for 7 years.
• Three phases:

Phase I:- assembling supercomputers.

Phase II:- manufacturing certain components within the country.
Phase III:- where a supercomputer is designed by India.
