Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday that India will aim to become a “global hub” for artificial intelligence (AI) through technology-based learning and skilling for workforce and students and help solve long-term issues such as climate change and pollution.
Speaking after inaugurating the Responsible AI for Social Empowerment (RAISE) 2020 Summit, Modi emphasised that AI should be used responsibly and the world must be protected against its weaponisation by non-state actors.
“It remains our collective responsibility to ensure trust in how AI is used. Algorithm transparency is key to establishing this trust. Equally important is accountability. We must protect the world against weaponisation of AI by non-state actors,” he said.
“E-courses will be developed in various regional languages and dialects. We will also tap into natural language processing (NLP)-based technology in order to reskill the youth,” Modi said.
