US-India ties: President Joe Biden's Science Adviser calls for AI collaboration with India
Joe Biden, Arati Prabhakar on Friday said that the United States and like-minded countries including India need to work together for shaping the course of artificial intelligence. This came after the US administration roped in several IT giants like Google and Microsoft to ensure that it is not misused and is being used for the public good. Speaking to PTI, Indian-American Prabhakar said, “The work that we are doing includes working with companies to hold them accountable and there's some important progress on that today." "We're also working on executive actions that we can take within existing law, and the President is considering an executive order that we think can really boost our ability to deal with AI's harms and also start using it for good," she said. She further stated, “That's what we can do from the executive branch. We'll also continue to work with Congress on bipartisan legislation as they start putting legislation forward.
Then critically and underpinning all of this is the work that we're doing globally with our international partners and allies, including with India." According to Arati Prabhakar, artificial intelligence was one of the important topics of discussion when President Joe Biden met Prime Minister Narendra Modi here last month. “And that is because this is a global technology.
It's everywhere. Everyone is participating and it's really affecting, it's going to affect everyone's lives and we want to make sure that like-minded countries work together to shape the course of AI," she told PTI. She recalled that PM Modi made a wonderful joke when he addressed Congress in the United States.
