Inaugurating the India AI Impact Summit here, Modi unveiled the ‘MANAV’ vision for a human-centric approach and use of artificial intelligence (AI) with a strong accent on sovereignty and inclusivity.
He asserted that the country does not fear AI but sees a fortune in it and a blueprint of tomorrow.
“Some countries believe that AI should be developed in a confidential and closed manner. But India is different. We believe AI will truly serve the good of the world when it is shared and its codes are open. Only then will millions of young minds be able to improve it further,” he said.
Emphasising the importance of child safety, the prime minister said just as school syllabi are curated, the AI space must also be child-safe and family-guided.
Welfare and happiness of all is “our benchmark” for AI to ensure that humans don’t become a data point or raw material, Modi stressed.
The prime minister also said the MANAV vision will become a crucial link for humanity’s welfare in the AI-driven world of the 21st century.
AI, he said, must be given an open sky, but command must remain in human hands.
