Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered the concluding address at the AI Action Summit in Paris, highlighting the shared vision and commitment of global stakeholders toward the responsible development of artificial intelligence. He welcomed the decision to establish the AI Foundation and the Council for Sustainable AI, acknowledging the leadership of French President Emmanuel Macron in driving these initiatives. Expressing India’s full support, he emphasized the need for collaborative efforts to ensure AI serves humanity in an ethical and sustainable manner.
Stressing the importance of inclusivity, the Prime Minister called for the Global Partnership on AI to be more representative of the Global South. He underscored the necessity of incorporating the priorities, concerns, and aspirations of developing nations into global AI governance frameworks. This, he noted, would ensure that AI-driven progress benefits all and does not widen existing technological divides.
Looking ahead, he proposed that India host the next AI Action Summit, reinforcing the country’s commitment to advancing AI innovation while addressing its ethical and societal challenges. Concluding his address, he expressed confidence that the discussions held at the summit would shape a future where AI is not just a tool of progress but also a force for inclusivity and global good.
