India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the critical need for responsible use of AI technology during a discussion with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. Modi highlighted the risks of AI misuse in unskilled hands, advocating for clear guidelines and the use of watermarks on AI-generated content to combat misinformation and deepfake-related harms in society. He underscored the importance of acknowledging AI-generated content and its source, suggesting watermarks as an initial step to prevent misinformation without devaluing AI creations.

Furthermore, Modi discussed India's extensive leveraging of AI innovations, including its use during the G20 Summit and for translating speeches into multiple languages. He humorously noted the integration of AI terminology into everyday Indian life, emphasizing the need to view AI as a tool to enhance human efficiency within specific fields of expertise rather than relying on it lazily.

The Prime Minister outlined his vision for leveraging technology in key sectors like health, agriculture, and education. He highlighted initiatives such as the Aayushman Aarogya Mandir healthcare centers, efforts to provide quality education through technology, and the "Namo Drone Didi" scheme empowering women in agriculture.
