India’s Vision for Responsible AI
PM Modi Welcomes Global Leaders: During his inaugural address Prime Minister Modi stressed on creating ethical AI, focus on inclusive growth, and building a digital public infrastructure. India’s unique approach using scalable digital solutions (e.g., Aadhaar, UPI etc.) was offered up as a model for the adoption of responsible Artificial Intelligence systems in developing countries.
The government highlighted:
- AI for agriculture and rural development
- Healthcare innovation powered by machine learning
- Skill development for India’s young workforce
This approach reflects India’s ambition to balance rapid innovation with social responsibility.
