AI: Transforming the Global Landscape with Inclusive Growth

AI, hailed as a revolutionary force, is poised to reshape every aspect of life, according to former Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant. Speaking at the AI Impact Summit, Kant stressed that the technology must be accessible, affordable, and multilingual to prevent worsening global inequalities.

Highlighting India's rapid technological progress, Kant attributed it to systems built on open-source architecture and global interoperability. He underscored the necessity for AI to reach underprivileged communities, transforming education and health outcomes in meaningful ways.

Kant also emphasized the importance of developing AI systems within indigenous data frameworks, urging India and the global south to harness digital infrastructure to propel growth. This approach allows for private sector innovation on a public digital platform, aiming to democratize access and benefits.
