Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be present at the opening of the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence Summit 2023 on December 12 in the nation’s capital. There will be a lot of interesting sessions during the three-day Summit, one of which is the AI Expo, where about 150 start-ups will be showcasing their strengths. India has actively participated in numerous initiatives to promote the development, deployment, and adoption of open, safe, secure, and accountable AI, and has made significant contributions to this Summit since its founding in June 2020.
“India’s election to its Council in November 2022 reflects its dedication to Safe & Trusted AI,” PM Modi wrote in a LinkedIn post in run-up to the event.
In the post, PM Modi further wrote that we citizens are living in a very interesting time period due to various fast-paced innovations in various domains, including AI.
“Decades of fast-paced innovation and the power of human endeavour have brought to life what was once considered to be only in the realm of imagination,” the LinkedIn post of PM Modi read.
According to PM Modi, there are areas of rapid advancement, and one area where the applications of artificial intelligence (AI) are growing exponentially is. Now that this ground-breaking technology is in the hands of a younger generation of bright minds, its enormous potential is being rapidly enhanced.
“India, as one of the youngest nations with a vibrant start-up ecosystem and a talented workforce, is poised to be an active contributor to the evolution of AI as the world leaps into a not-so-distant future.”
According to PM Modi, India provides scalable, secure, reasonably priced, long-lasting, and globally replicable solutions. He pointed out that one of the best examples of such initiatives is India’s Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) initiative.
“In the last 9-10 years, India and its citizens have leap-frogged with the help of technology. It won’t be an exaggeration to say that India achieved, in a matter of few years, what took other countries a generation. This was possible through the fast-paced penetration of mobiles along with internet connectivity and scalable models for digital inclusion.”
