Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday observed that 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.

”India offers solutions that are scalable, secure, affordable, sustainable, and replicable on a global scale. India’s Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) initiative is a prime example of such pioneering efforts,” he said in his LinkedIn post, on the upcoming Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) Summit.

Highlighting the transformative impact of AI across various sectors, the PM emphasised its positive influence on technology, innovation, healthcare, and education, agriculture. He noted that in the last 9-10 years, India and its citizens have leap-frogged with the help of technology due to fast-paced penetration of mobiles along with internet connectivity and scalable models for digital inclusion.

He also invited technology enthusiasts, innovators, and stakeholders worldwide to join the upcoming GPAI Summit 2023. India is hosting the Annual GPAI Summit in New Delhi from 12- 14 December. The event is expected to be inaugurated by the PM.

”Since its inception in June 2020, India has made significant contributions to GPAI, actively engaging in various initiatives to foster the development, deployment, and adoption of open, safe, secure, and accountable AI. India’s election to its Council in November 2022 reflects its dedication to Safe & Trusted AI,” Mr Modi said.

The GPAI is a multi-stakeholder initiative which aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice on AI by supporting cutting-edge research and applied activities on AI-related priorities. Launched in June 2020 with 15 members, today GPAI’s membership has expanded to 28 member countries and the European Union.
