NEW DELHI (ALETIHAD)
G42 has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Credo AI to advance Responsible AI adoption across the Global South.
The agreement was signed on the sidelines of the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi, a G42 statement said. India AI summit brought together world leaders, policymakers, innovators and industry executives focused on translating AI progress into real-world outcomes.
Under the MoU, the two organisations aim to operationalise Responsible AI by turning governance principles into measurable impact, particularly in regions characterised by diverse regulatory environments, institutional capacities and societal priorities.
The collaboration will consider the design of practical governance frameworks, risk monitoring tools and education programmes aimed at empowering policymakers and professionals to implement responsible AI practices.
Dr Andrew Jackson, Group Chief AI Officer at G42, said: “AI innovation and AI governance must advance together. When trust is engineered into the system from the start, innovation accelerates, deployment is smoother and adoption happens faster at scale. Building on G42’s experience of deploying AI at a national and global scale, this partnership with Credo AI is about accelerating trusted AI so innovation can move faster, adoption can be responsible, and AI can deliver meaningful impact across economies and societies.”
Navrina Singh, Chief Executive Officer of Credo AI, said: “Enterprises scaling AI need more than ambition — they need speed with control, and governance they can measure. Our partnership with G42 gives organisations across the Middle East and Global South the capability to deploy AI faster, govern it at scale, and turn responsible adoption into genuine competitive advantage.
"This matters even more as AI becomes agentic. When your AI is making autonomous decisions, the enterprises that govern it best will be the ones that deploy it furthest and fastest.”
G42 said it has previously demonstrated leadership in Responsible AI through initiatives such as the Responsible AI Future Foundation launched with Microsoft, its Frontier AI Safety Framework, participation in the Frontier AI Safety Commitments, the World Economic Forum AI Governance Alliance and the Bletchley Declaration, as well as the publication of its Responsible AI Transparency Report and Responsible AI Compendium.
Credo AI, which pioneered the AI Governance category in 2020, has developed what it describes as the industry’s first continuous, contextual AI governance platform and a repository of codified AI policies, risk controls and regulatory mappings.
The company said its platform is used by Fortune 500 companies to implement governance aligned with frameworks including the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001.
