\n “It is believed that this Summit will play a crucial role in building a human-centric, sensitive global AI ecosystem. If we look at history, we see that humans have transformed every disruption into a new opportunity. Today, we have once again faced such an opportunity. Together, we have to transform this disruption into humanity’s biggest opportunity…” the Prime Minister said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday called for the democratisation of Artificial Intelligence, asserting that it must become a tool for inclusion and empowerment rather than reducing humans to mere data points or raw material.

He said India believes AI will truly serve the global good only when it is shared openly and its codes remain accessible, making clear that the country does not fear the technology but views it as an opportunity and a blueprint for the future.

Addressing the India AI Impact Summit, Modi said, “We have to give an open sky to AI, but at the same time, we have to keep the reins in our hands.”

Highlighting AI’s transformative potential, he said, “AI will make our systems smarter, more efficient and more impactful. It will open more opportunities for people to take up creative roles. It is a major opportunity for innovation, entrepreneurship and the creation of new industries,” speaking at the event attended by world leaders and top industry CEOs.

“Some countries believe that AI should be developed in a confidential and closed manner. But India is different. We believe AI will truly serve the good of the world when it is shared and its codes are open. Only then will millions of young minds be able to improve it further,” he said.

Modi added that the world today is divided between those who fear AI and those who see promise in it.

“I proudly and responsibly say that we do not see fear. India sees fortune in AI, India sees a future in AI. In AI, India sees opportunity and the blueprint of tomorrow,” he asserted.
