AI must translate into global good: PM Modi

PM Modi outlines India's human-centric AI approach at G20, emphasizing global cooperation, transparency, and equitable access while announcing 2026 AI Impact Summit.

"AI must translate into global good - PM Narendra Modi"

Johannesburg, Nov 23

Underlining that AI must translate into global good, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday called for a global compact based on the principles of transparency, human oversight, safety-by-design and prevention of misuse.

Addressing the third session of the G20 Summit on "A Fair and a Just Future for All - Critical Minerals; Decent Work; Artificial Intelligence,” the Prime Minister emphasised that while AI should expand human capabilities, the ultimate decision should be made by humans themselves.

He noted that such technology applications must be ‘human-centric' rather than 'finance-centric', 'global' rather than 'national', and based on 'open source' rather than 'exclusive models'.

PM Modi elaborated that this vision has been integrated into India's technology ecosystem, which has resulted in significant benefits in space applications, AI and digital payments, where the country is a world leader.

The Prime Minister outlined India's approach to AI based on equitable access, population-level skilling, and responsible deployment. He noted that under the India-AI Mission, accessible high-performance computing capacity is being built to ensure that AI benefits reach everyone in the country.

He said that India will be hosting the AI Impact Summit in February 2026 with the theme 'Sarvajanam Hitaya, Sarvajanam Sukhaya' (Welfare for all, Happiness for all), and invited all G20 countries to join this effort.

PM Modi emphasised that in the age of AI, there is a need to rapidly shift our approach from 'Jobs of Today' to 'Capabilities of Tomorrow'. Recalling progress made on talent mobility at the New Delhi G20 Summit, he proposed that the group should develop a global framework for talent mobility in the coming years.

The Prime Minister concluded by articulating India's message and commitment to global well-being. India stands for development that is sustainable, trade that is trusted, fair finance, and progress in which everyone prospers, he added.

The focus on 'Capabilities of Tomorrow' rather than just 'Jobs of Today' is brilliant. In India, we need this mindset shift desperately. Hope the skilling programs reach tier 2 and 3 cities too.

As someone working in tech, I appreciate the emphasis on open source models. This could really democratize AI development and prevent big corporations from monopolizing the technology. Well said, PM Modi!

While the vision sounds great, I hope the implementation matches the rhetoric. We've seen many grand announcements before. The real test will be how these policies actually benefit common Indians in villages and small towns.

India's success in digital payments through UPI shows we can lead in technology for public good. Excited to see how AI can transform healthcare and education in rural areas. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
