Prime Minister Modi Has Repeatedly Mentioned During His Visit To The US That India And The US Will Work Together To Face The Dangers Of AI
Prime Minister Modi has repeatedly mentioned during his visit to the US that India and the US will work together to face the dangers of AI.
US President Joe Biden’s scientific advisor Arati Prabhakar on Friday said that like-minded countries including the United States and India need to work together to shape the course of artificial intelligence.
As the administration has roped in several IT giants like Google and Microsoft to ensure that it is not misused and is being used for public good.
Working with companies: Aarti Prabhakar.
Indian-American Aarti Prabhakar told a leading news agency in an interview that the work we are doing includes working with companies to hold them accountable.
Today there has been some significant progress on this. We are also working on executive actions that we may take under existing law.
Biden considering an executive order.
Aarti pointed out that President Biden is considering an executive order, which we think can really enhance our ability to deal with the harms of AI and even start using it for good.
That’s what we can do with the executive branch, she said. We will also continue to work with Congress on bipartisan legislation as they begin to advance legislation.
PM Modi discussed AI with Biden.
Aarti Prabhakar said AI was one of the key points when President Joe Biden met Prime Minister Narendra Modi last month.
I think this is very much on the mind of our world leaders when they meet with President Biden.
This is what happened to Prime Minister Modi and many others. From state dinner to lunch and addressing the Congress, PM Modi repeatedly mentioned AI.
In fact, when the Prime Minister addressed the Congress, he made a wonderful joke.
He said he thinks AI means America and India, which is another way of interpreting it, but I think there has to be clarity about how to achieve safe AI, so that all of our citizens can benefit from it.
I spent half of my working life in Silicon Valley.
Aarti Prabhakar has spent half of her working life in Silicon Valley, her home is in Palo Alto. The excitement about AI is palpable in Silicon Valley, she said.
Aarti said that creating amazing applications for AI is part of how we will move forward and ensure that AI technology is not misused.
Representatives of AI companies met the US government.
On Friday, representatives of seven major AI companies met with the US government, including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and some smaller AI companies.
Many tech companies, some of the biggest leaders in AI, are signing up to certain commitments on safety, security and trust.
