India should soon become a global hub for AI, says PM Modi

Speaking at the Responsible AI for Social Empowerment (RAISE) 2020 summit, PM Modi said that while he wants India to become a global hub for AI, it is also a collective responsibility of the nation to protect the world from misuse of AI by non-state actors such as cyber criminals, terrorists, among others. "It remains our collective responsibility to ensure trust in how AI is used. Algorithm Transparency is key to establishing this trust. We must protect the world against weaponisation of AI by non-state actors," he said. In a first, the union government has organized a five-day virtual global summit to kickstart discussion on the creation of robust AI-powered public infrastructure to benefit India as well as other nations.
