Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 16 inaugurated a major summit focused on harnessing Artificial Intelligence for public good, emphasizing that technology must be guided by human values and social responsibility. Addressing an overwhelming gathering at Bharat Mandapam, the Prime Minister said the summit aims to explore how AI can be effectively used to drive inclusive growth, improve governance, and deliver citizen-centric services.
Highlighting India’s rapid strides in digital innovation, PM Modi underscored the need for collaborative global efforts to ensure AI remains transparent, ethical, and accessible. He noted that emerging technologies should empower communities, strengthen public service delivery, and bridge social divides rather than widen them.
The summit, which drew policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and innovators from across sectors, is expected to deliberate on AI’s role in healthcare, education, agriculture, and governance. The Prime Minister called for a balanced approach that encourages innovation while safeguarding privacy, security, and public trust.
