'After World War II..., AI will shape the new world order': PM Modi at AI Impact Summit

Making a pitch for democratising AI, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday unveiled the ‘MANAV’ vision for a human-centric approach and use of the fast emerging technology with a strong accent on sovereignty and inclusivity. Inaugurating the AI Impact Summit here, he said India believes that artificial intelligence will truly serve the good of the world when it is shared and its codes are open, asserting that the country does not fear AI but sees a fortune in it and a blueprint of tomorrow. Welfare and happiness of all is “our benchmark” for AI to ensure that humans don’t become a data point or raw material, he stressed. “I present the M.A.N.A.V. vision for AI where M stands for moral and ethical systems, A for accountable governance, N for national sovereignty, A for accessible and inclusive, V for valid and legitimate,” Modi said.
