Nvidia partners for globally inclusive AI in US government initiative

  • Deep Learning Institute training, cloud GPU credits, and hardware and software grants for emerging economies will become available under the Partnership for Global Inclusivity on AI.

 

NVIDIA is joining the U.S. government’s launch of the Partnership for Global Inclusivity on AI (PGIAI), providing Deep Learning Institute training, GPU credits and hardware and software grants in developing countries.

The partnership was announced today in New York at the U.N. General Assembly by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The effort aims to harness the potential of artificial intelligence to advance sustainable development around the world.

“Artificial Intelligence is driving the next industrial revolution, offering incredible potential to contribute meaningful progress on sustainable development goals,” said Ned Finkle, VP of NVIDIA government affairs. “NVIDIA is committed to empowering communities to use AI to innovate through support for research, education and small and medium size enterprises.”

NVIDIA is joined by Amazon, Anthropic, Apple,  Google, IBM, Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI in the initiative.

Members of the partnership have pledged to provide access to training, compute and other AI tools to drive sustainable development and improved quality of life in developing countries.

The PGIAI initiative recognizes that equitable AI requires understanding and respect for the diverse cultures, languages and traditions of the communities where services are provided. With that criteria, PGIAI members will focus on increasing access to AI models, APIs, compute credit and other AI tools, as well as technical training and access to local datasets.

Under this partnership, NVIDIA will provide approximately $10 million in free training to universities and developers to help support AI for local solutions and development goals.

NVIDIA’s global Inception program supports nearly 5,000 start-ups in emerging economies with technical expertise, go-to-market support, hardware and software discounts, and access to free cloud computing credits provided by NVIDIA partners.

In 2024, Inception provided access to more than $60 million worth of free cloud compute credits through partners to start-ups in emerging economies.
