This report outlines an affirmative and representative vision for a Global Majority Artificial Intelligence (AI) Agenda, emphasizing the need for equity and sustainability in AI development and governance. In preparation for the French AI Action Summit, an assortment of Global Majority policymakers and subject matter experts convened at the Global Action Forum, a meeting designed to discuss the current state of AI innovation ecosystems, enablers, and investment infrastructure. This report synthesizes the key insights from the Forum into three high-level recommendations for France’s Special Envoy for Artificial Intelligence overseeing the Action Summit. This includes (1) hosting a Global Majority track at the French AI Action Summit; (2) establishing an AI Investment Infrastructure (AIII) mechanism; and (3) introducing new governance mechanisms to complement the Action Summit’s existing efforts.
