India is shaping global framework for ethical and human-centric AI: PM Modi

PM Modi announces India's leadership in ethical AI framework with Rs 10,000 crore investment and upcoming Global AI Summit in 2026 for inclusive technology development.

"Today, India is shaping the global framework for ethical and human-centric AI. Our upcoming AI governance framework will be a major step in this direction. - PM Narendra Modi"

New Delhi, November 3

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that India is playing a leading role in shaping the global framework for ethical and human-centric artificial intelligence (AI).

Addressing the Emerging Science, Technology and Innovation Conclave (ESTIC) 2025, the Prime Minister emphasised that the government is working towards making AI accessible and beneficial for every segment of society.

PM Modi said, "Today, AI (Artificial Intelligence) is being used everywhere, from retail to logistics, from customer service to children's homework. Therefore, in India too, we are making the power of AI useful for every segment of society. More than Rs 10,000 crore is being invested in the India AI Mission."

The Prime Minister further stated that when India hosts the Global AI Summit in February 2026, efforts for inclusive, ethical, and human-centric AI will gain new momentum.

"Today, India is shaping the global framework for ethical and human-centric AI. Our upcoming AI governance framework will be a major step in this direction. Its aim is to develop innovation and safety together. When India hosts the Global AI Summit in February next year, the efforts for inclusive, ethical, and human-centric AI will gain new momentum. Now is the time to redouble our energy in emerging areas. This is also crucial for achieving our goal of a developed India," the PM said during the ESTIC 2025.

Highlighting women's growing role in India's science and technology sector, PM Modi noted a sharp rise in participation over the past decade.

"When we talk about India's space, Indian women scientists are discussed a lot. In patent filings, the number of women in this field annually was less than 100 a decade ago. Now, it has reached over 5,000 annually. The share of women in STEM education is about 43%, which is higher than the global average," he said.

Noting that women in India are rapidly progressing in the field of science and technology, Prime Minister Modi recalled a moment and said, "I was in an elevator with the Science and Technology Minister of a developed country. He asked me - 'Do girls in India pursue science and technology?' When I told him about such numbers, he was shocked. This is what the daughters of India have achieved. These statistics show how rapidly women in India are progressing in the field of science and technology."

As someone working in tech, I appreciate India's focus on ethical AI. However, I hope the implementation matches the vision. We need proper regulations and not just announcements. The Rs 10,000 crore investment is substantial - let's see how it's utilized effectively.

Human-centric AI is the need of the hour. While I appreciate India's leadership in this area, I hope the framework includes strong data privacy protections and addresses algorithmic bias. The focus should be on creating AI that serves all citizens equally.
