Indian PM flags AI bias concerns at Paris AI Summit.
-
"...if you ask the same app to draw an image of someone writing with their left hand, the app will most likely draw someone writing with their Right hand. Because that is what the training data is dominated by." This bias, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi warned, transcends imagery and infiltrates critical domains like healthcare diagnostics and hiring algorithms, risking the entrenchment of historical inequities.
INDIA'S ROLE AT PARIS AI SUMMIT AND THE ETHICAL AI QUESTIONS RAISED BY PM In a landmark moment for global tech diplomacy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, co-chairing the 2025 Paris AI Summit alongside French President Emmanuel Macron, positioned India at the forefront of ethical artificial intelligence (AI) governance. The summit, attended by leaders, policymakers, and innovators from nearly 100 nations, became a platform for India to assert its vision for inclusive, transparent, and biasfree AI systems-a stance that resonated deeply in discussions about shaping humanity's digital future.
INDIA'S LEADERSHIP IN GLOBAL AI GOVERNANCE As co-chair of the summit, India's rising influence in tech governance was unmistakable. PM Modi's keynote address underscored India's dual role as both an advocate for the Global South and a bridge between innovation and regulation. India asserted that AI should not become a tool to deepen inequality, but a force to democratize progress, aligning with India's G20 mantra of "One Earth, One Family, One Future."
