The Centre has already achieved global recognition, it cooperates closely with UNESCO and is receiving invitations for cooperation from the OECD, WHO and other international organisations.

In addition to the setting up of programme units for the centre, the establishment of international advisory and management committees across different thematic units and the establishment of the relevant IRCAI international infrastructure, the centre is already involved in a number of activities and projects.

In cooperation with the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI), it developed the OECD AI Policy Observatory which it constantly upgrades with new data and analyses.

The IRCAI is also actively cooperating in the development of an observatory and analytical environment for the monitoring of the spread of the new coronavirus. The entire analytical environment used by the centre was developed within a week. The service is being constantly upgraded with additional data sources, analyses and projections.
