Stressing India’s efforts to make artificial intelligence (AI) “human-centric”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for democratisation of the technology so that its “benefits” are “diffused to everyone and not just hoarded by early adopters”.

In an interview focused on the AI Impact Summit, being held in New Delhi, to news agency Asian News International, the PM said his vision for Al in Aatmanirbhar Bharat rests on three pillarssovereignty, inclusivity, and innovation. “My vision is that India should be among the top three AI superpowers globally, not just in the consumption of Al, but in creation,” he said.

PM Modi said he understands the concern of India’s youth about AI-driven disruptions in the job market.

“Preparation is the best antidote to fear. That is why we have been investing in skilling and re-skilling our people for an Al-driven future,” he said.
