New Delhi: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday attended the Artificial Intelligence Impact Summit along with world leaders, heads of states and global technology leaders and expressed his appreciation for India’s development in the field of artificial intelligence.In his keynote speech, Prime Minister Modi said that AI needs to be democratized to ensure that humans do not become data points or raw materials.
Here are the key quotes from PM Modi’s speech
- We have seen the devastation of nuclear energy, but also its positive contributions. Likewise, artificial intelligence is a transformative force. Without direction, it leads to chaos; with the right direction, it leads to solutions. How to make artificial intelligence from machine-centered to human-centered, and how to become sensitive and responsible – this is the main purpose of this Global Artificial Intelligence Impact Summit. “
- India sees a bright future in artificial intelligence. We have the people, energy capabilities and clear policies. I am happy to tell you that at this summit, three Indian companies launched their artificial intelligence models and applications. These models showcase the talent of our young people. I invite everyone to design and develop in India and deliver humanity to the world.
- We are entering an era where humans and intelligent systems co-create, work together and evolve together.
- Decades ago, when the Internet was born, no one could have imagined how many jobs it would create. The same is true for artificial intelligence. Today, it is difficult to imagine what kind of job opportunities this field will create in the future. The future of AI jobs is not predetermined. It will depend on our decisions, our approach and our course of action. I believe the future of work is a new opportunity for us. This is the era of humans and intelligent systems working together.
- Today at the Artificial Intelligence Impact Summit in New Delhi, I presented the MANAV Artificial Intelligence Vision. MANAV means human being and MANAV Vision means M-Moral and Ethical System: Artificial Intelligence should be based on ethical guidance. A-Responsible governance means transparent rules and strong supervision; N-National sovereignty means whose data belongs to him. A-Accessibility and inclusion means AI should be a multiplier, not a monopoly. V-valid and legal means that the AI should be legal and verifiable. India’s MANAV vision will serve as an important link for human welfare in the 21st century AI world.
- We must be more careful about children’s safety. AI spaces should also be child-safe and family-oriented.
- Let us commit to developing artificial intelligence as a global common good. A key need today is the establishment of global standards. Deepfakes and fabricated content are destabilizing open societies. In the digital world, content should also have an authenticity label so that people know what is real and what is created by AI. As AI creates more text, images, and videos, the industry increasingly requires watermarking and clear-source standards. Therefore, it is critical to build this trust into the technology from the beginning.
- To artificial intelligence, humans are just data points. To ensure that humans are not reduced to mere raw materials, AI must be democratized. It must be a medium of inclusion and empowerment, especially in countries of the Global South. We must give AI an open sky, but also put the command in our hands like GPS. GPS shows us the way, but the final decision about which direction we should take rests with us. The direction we take in artificial intelligence today will determine our future.
- The speed at which the world’s youth are embracing and mastering AI is commendable. Young people have great enthusiasm for the Artificial Intelligence Summit.
- Artificial intelligence is a transformative force. If there is no direction, it becomes a distraction; if the right direction is found, it becomes the solution. How to transform artificial intelligence from machine-centered to human-centered, and how to make it sensitive and responsive are the basic goals of this Global Artificial Intelligence Impact Summit. The theme of the summit clearly reflects India’s perspective on artificial intelligence. The welfare of all beings, the happiness of all beings. This is our baseline.
- We must make skills training, reskilling and lifelong learning a mass movement. The future of work will be inclusive, trustworthy, and people-centered. If we move forward together, AI will advance human potential.
- We must have a big vision and an equally big responsibility. Like the current generation, we must also worry about what form of artificial intelligence we will hand over to the next generation. So the real question today is not what AI can do in the future. The question is, what do we do with artificial intelligence now? Such problems have been faced by mankind before. The most powerful example is nuclear energy. We have seen its destruction as well as its positive contributions.
- I welcome you all to the world’s most historic Artificial Intelligence Summit. India is the center of the world’s largest technology pool. For countries in the southern hemisphere, it is a matter of pride for the Artificial Intelligence Summit to be held in India.
- When signals were first transmitted wirelessly, no one imagined that one day the entire world would be connected in real time. Artificial intelligence is a revolution in human history. What we are seeing today and what we are predicting is just the beginning of its impact.
- Artificial intelligence is making machines smarter, but more importantly, it is also exponentially improving human capabilities. The only difference is: this time the speed is unprecedented and the scale is unexpected. Earlier, the impact of technology often took decades to manifest. Today, the journey from machine learning to learning machines is faster, deeper, and broader than ever before.
