Guwahati: The first Supreme Audit Institution 20 (SAI20) Senior Officers Meeting (SOM) will begin in Guwahati today with the themes -‘Blue Economy’ and ‘Responsible Artificial Intelligence’. The SAI20 is aimed at bringing together an ecosystem wherein SAIs are active partners in governance, promoting transparency and accountability.

 

The delegates from G20 member countries, guest countries and other International Organisations would attend the SAI20 event. SAIs of Australia, Brazil, Egypt, Indonesia, Oman, the Republic of Korea, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and UAE will be participating in person.

 

Blue Economy is the Sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods, and jobs while preserving the health of our ecosystem. Responsible AI is a governance framework aimed at what data can be collected and used,



how AI models should be evaluated, and how to best deploy and monitor models. The framework can also define who is accountable for any negative outcomes of AI.

 

In line with this, during the course of SOM in Guwahati, SAI India shall present and introduce the concept themes of Blue Economy and Responsible AI. There shall be further sharing of experiences by the participant SAIs including member SAIs and guest SAIs of G20.

 

The SAI20 Engagement Group of G20 was established in 2022 during Indonesia’s Presidency of the G20 to enhance economic governance through collaborative oversight. This engagement group aspires to support SAIs members to be future-ready in the face of rapid changes in the audit environment through policy dialogue and identification of best practices in the public sector audit ecosystem.
