India Seeks Global Framework For Ethical Use Of Artificial Intelligence
PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (27 August) called for setting up of a global framework for ethical use of the Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Noting that the world is excited about AI, PM Modi also flagged concerns over algorithmic bias and its disruptive impact on society.
"The world is currently brimming with excitement about AI, but within this excitement, there are ethical considerations as well. Concerns are being raised about skilling and re-skilling, algorithmic bias, and the societal impact of AI," PM Modi said while addressing the B20 Summit organised by the CII, according to a PMO release.
"We all need to come together to address these issues. Global business communities and governments must collaborate to ensure the expansion of ethical AI," he said.
"We must analyse potential disruptions in different sectors. Disruption is becoming more profound, pervasive, and significant with every instance. This challenge requires a solution under a global framework," he added.
Emphasising the need to deepen mutual trust and cooperation between countries, PM Modi called for a similar, integrated approach to deal with issues related to cryptocurrencies.
"Over time, new issues are emerging that were unimaginable 10-15 years ago. For instance, the challenge posed by cryptocurrencies. It requires a highly integrated approach. I believe a global framework needs to be established, considering the concerns of all stakeholders," he said.
"When the aviation sector was growing, when the financial sector was advancing, the world established frameworks to address such challenges. Therefore, today, I call upon the B-20 to engage in discussions and contemplation on these emerging topics," PM Modi said.
