Takes over presidency of global AI group, and uses G20 leadership to flex manufacturing muscle
India’s IT minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar has called for development of global standards to ensure that artificial intelligence does not harm humanity.
«We all should be concerned about user harm,» Chandrasekhar told this week’s meeting of the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence a 29-member created in 2020 after the G7 bloc decided the world needs a multilateral think tank to consider the impacts of AI.
«I would encourage member states to think about evolving a common framework of rules and guidelines about data governance, about safety and trust as much to do with the internet as to do with AI,» Chandrasekhar said.
As India is set to take over presidency of the GPAI for 2023, Chandrasekhar’s remarks carried some weight.
The body already seems to agree with the theme of the minister’s remarks, as a post-conference ministerial declaration saw the organization «Oppose unlawful and irresponsible use of artificial intelligence and other technologies, which is not in line with our shared values.
