To work toward a less fragmented AI policy landscape that incorporates the interests and concerns of Global South countries, the working group recommends several key actions*, including:

Measures by Global South countries for accountability of transnational corporations in AI-based services.
Incentives to retain domestic AI talent in the Global South and build local research and development capabilities.
