Modi states Cautiousness about incorporating the use of AI: While discussing with Gates

In an exclusive interaction with Microsoft Co-founder Bill Gates, Prime Minister Narendra Modi underscored the imperative for the tech industry and tech adopters to adopt a proactive stance towards artificial intelligence (AI). Rather than passively accepting AI as a convenient solution for mundane tasks, Modi urged for a paradigm shift towards viewing it as a dynamic force for innovation and competition.

“Efforts must be directed towards exceeding AI’s current capabilities,” Modi emphasized, cautioning against the complacency that comes with treating AI as a mere convenience. “If we succumb to the temptation of treating AI as a magic tool, we risk doing a disservice to its true potential. It is essential to engage with AI actively, challenging its boundaries and constantly striving for advancement.”

Modi highlighted the significance of AI adaptation to the diverse linguistic landscape of India, stressing the need for inclusivity and accessibility in AI development. Furthermore, he raised concerns about the deceptive nature of deepfakes and advocated for a robust legal framework to regulate AI and deepfake technology effectively. In a democracy like India, where the dissemination of information is crucial, it is imperative to establish guidelines and safeguards against the misuse of AI technology.”

Expressing optimism about India’s role in the fourth Industrial Revolution, Modi highlighted the country’s digital transformation initiatives aimed at bridging the digital divide and empowering marginalized communities. He cited examples of initiatives such as the ‘Namo Drone Didi program’, designed to equip women with drone piloting skills, as a testament to India’s commitment to fostering inclusivity and innovation in the tech sector.

Reflecting on India’s historical challenges during the first and second industrial revolutions, Modi underscored the importance of leveraging digital technology to propel India’s growth and development on the global stage. He emphasized the need for creating robust digital public infrastructure as a cornerstone of India’s digital transformation journey, ensuring equitable access to technology for all citizens.

“As we embark on this journey of technological advancement, it is crucial to prioritize inclusivity and responsible innovation,” Modi concluded. “By harnessing the power of AI with caution and foresight, India can emerge as a global leader in the digital age, driving innovation, and prosperity for all.”
