Two sides to work on developing safe, secure AI and building modular n-reactors
India and France on Wednesday launched a joint road map for developing safe, secure and trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI) as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Emmanuel Macron explored ways to ramp up cooperation in science and innovation under the bilateral strategic partnership.
The two countries also unveiled a partnership on advanced modular reactors (AMRs) and small modular reactors (SMRs), a civil nuclear energy sector that is in focus as nations try to meet the needs of energy-guzzling AI data centres, and other steps to bolster bilateral civil nuclear cooperation.
The India-France road map on AI will focus on the "development of safe, open, secure and trustworthy artificial intelligence", according to a joint statement.
