On December 12, the yearly Global Partnership for Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) Summit got underway at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, with a focus on important conversations about the difficulties facing AI development and safety. India will serve as the head chair of GPAI in 2024, with participation from 29 nations in North and South America, Europe, and Asia; China will not be included in the list of members.
Different Views of AI
In order to foster trust in AI, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized in his inaugural address the significance of tackling ethical, economic, and societal issues. Discussions on a wide range of topics were held between AI officials and industry experts.
During the meeting, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw emphasized the importance of looking into issues pertaining to agricultural and healthcare.
The CEO of Paytm, Vijay Shekhar Sharma, discussed the difficulties Indian farmers have in integrating data, highlighting the potential of AI to address ecological intricacies, boost output, and close supply-demand imbalances.
Ownership and Governance of Data
Discussions on data sharing and cross-border data flows were one of the main themes. To address these concerns, the Union Government is actively working to rebalance data ownership.
The IT Ministry’s Kavita Bhatia, a group coordinator, stressed the significance of looking at cross-border data flows in the context of equitable computing—a topic that would be covered in the GPAI data governance working group.
Modi’s Request for Transparency and Institutional Mechanisms
Concerns regarding AI’s effects on employment, the necessity for consistent AI standards, and the content of curricula around the world were brought up by Prime Minister Modi.
He suggested creating an international AI education curriculum and urged the establishment of an institutional framework to guarantee stable employment.
Modi also addressed issues about the abuse of AI, bringing up the concept of watermarking AI products to identify information that is generated by them. This is especially important for improving transparency in AI applications and combating deepfake videos.
Resolving Security Issues
Modi underlined the need for transparency into the methods employed in AI models, pointing out the possible risks of terrorists gaining access to AI technologies as well as the growing threat of cybercrime and data theft. Although he emphasized that openness in AI deployment is our shared obligation, he acknowledged the revolutionary power of AI.
