Prime Minister Narendra Modi will serve as a co-chair at the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Action Summit in France, which is set for February 10–11, 2025, according to confirmation from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). At a recent news briefing, French President Emmanuel Macron extended an invitation, which led to this declaration.
More than a thousand people are anticipated to attend the summit, which will bring together heads of state, executives, academics, members of international organizations, and civil society from about 100 nations.
The summit intends to promote a global conversation about AI, concentrating on important topics like:
Interest in AI by the Public
AI’s Role in Workplace Innovation and Culture
Global Governance of AI
Concerns about false information and the improper usage of AI technologies will also be discussed.
This is PM Modi’s first trip to France in his third term, and it offers a chance for bilateral meetings with foreign leaders, including, if he goes, a meeting with US President Donald Trump. With major defense agreements expected to be signed during this visit, the summit is viewed as a forum to improve India-France ties in the high-end technology and defense sectors.
In conclusion, PM Modi’s attendance at the AI Summit highlights India’s critical position in international debates concerning AI and its regulation.
