Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed India’s willingness to host the next artificial intelligence summit. This offer came after Modi welcomed the decisions made at Paris AI Action Summit to establish “AI Foundation” and “Council for Sustainable AI”.

In his concluding address at the summit, which he co-chaired with French President Emmanuel Macron, Modi stated, “Today’s discussions have brought out one thing – there is unity in vision and unity in purpose across stakeholders.” He congratulated France and President Macron on these initiatives and assured India’s full support.

Earlier, Modi emphasised the need for global efforts to establish AI governance and standards, make AI accessible, and deploy AI for global good. He urged stakeholders to make the “global partnership for AI” more inclusive, considering the priorities, concerns, and needs of the Global South.

“It should be more inclusive of the Global South and its priorities, concerns and needs,” he said, adding that to build on the momentum of this summit, India would be happy to host the next one.
