Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a podcast with MIT scientist and American podcaster Lex Fridman, said that artificial intelligence (AI) development around the world will remain incomplete without India’s contribution.
“I speak openly from my heart. No matter what the world does with AI, it will remain incomplete without India. I’m making this statement very responsibly,” said PM Modi in the podcast released on Sunday, March 16.
PM Modi on AI
Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared his take on the need for collaboration to develop artificial intelligence (AI) on a global scale.
“I believe AI development is fundamentally a collaboration. Everyone involved supports one another through shared experiences and learning,” PM Modi told Fridman in the podcast.
Modi also focused on India’s AI stance and said that India is not just developing theoretical AI models but is now working on bringing to life AI-driven applications for specific use cases of the people.
“We have already created a unique marketplace-based model to ensure its broad accessibility. A significant mindset shift is taking place in India, though historical influences, traditional government procedures or the lack of strong support infrastructure made us appear as lagging behind others,” said Modi in the podcast.
