'Must proceed with extreme caution': PM Modi on use of AI

Highlighting that artificial intelligence has a significant impact on both present and future generations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that one must proceed with extreme caution to safeguard all sections of society. I believe that the suggestions and ideas emerging from this summit will help us safeguard the world from the potential risks and challenges posed by the darker aspects of AI,” PM Modi said while addressing the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence Summit 2023, being held here at Bharat Manadapam in Delhi. Noting further, PM Modi said, “Recently, we launched an AI check portal in Agriculture, which facilitates farmers in checking their application status, accessing payment details, and staying informed about government schemes with ease.” Notably, India wants to use AI to address societal needs in areas such as healthcare, education, agriculture, smart cities, infrastructure, smart mobility, and transportation. While speaking at the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence Summit 2023, being held here in the national capital, PM Modi said that the deep fake challenge is for the entire world as it could be used to create ‘deepfakes’ to purposefully spread false information or have malicious intent behind their use.
