#WATCH | London | High Commissioner For India in the United Kingdom, Vikram Doraiswami says, "... There is a great opportunity to capitalize on the converging capabilities of both nations in AI. For a long time, our tech sectors have run parallel to one another—India focusing on its initiatives, the UK on its own, and both looking to other markets for alignment... However, if AI and technology are to drive growth and inclusion across our countries, why not also link our countries together horizontally. There is immense potential here..."
He also says, "Some of the work showcased in the UK nearly three years ago, and more recently in India, demonstrates the considerable opportunity for combining the UK’s AI capabilities with India’s emerging contributions in the field. India’s diverse landscape—linguistically, economically, and geographically—provides fertile ground for AI to deliver solutions in governance, financial inclusion, healthcare, farming, and other sectors. If we envision AI as a tool to include every citizen on the planet, India is well-positioned to help make this happen..." (24.03)
