PM Modi kicks off AI summit, calling for inclusivity and warns of challenges

The annual Global Partnership for Artificial Intelligence Summit kicked off in New Delhi’s Bharat Mandapam on December 12, with discussions on AI issues like safety and development challenges. “Trust in AI will grow only when related ethical, economic and social aspects are addressed,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said while inaugurating the three-day event. “Cross-border data flows is one area where we certainly need to look into it, because when we talk about bringing the equitable compute, then how do we bring the data, and who owns the data are very important aspects,” Kavita Bhatia, a group coordinator at the IT Ministry said at a panel discussion, adding that the issue would be deliberated at the data governance working group of GPAI. AI-generated images have been used in illicit ways such as creating ‘deepfake’ clips of celebrities, as well as by firms seeking to save costs by creating photorealistic images for Mr. Modi also pointed to the dangers of terrorists getting access to AI tools, as well as the potential for increased cybersecurity and data theft incidents.
