Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday outlined a “MANAV Vision” for artificial intelligence while addressing a global AI summit in New Delhi, highlighting the need for responsible and inclusive technological growth.
Explaining the acronym, Modi said “MANAV” stands for:
-
M: Moral and Ethical System
-
A: Accountable Governance
-
N: National Sovereignty
-
A: Accessible and Inclusive
-
V: Valid and Legitimate
AI Must Be Democratic and Inclusive
In his address, the Prime Minister stressed that artificial intelligence should be accessible to everyone.
“We must democratise AI. It must become a medium for inclusion and empowerment, particularly for the Global South,” he said.
The AI summit, held from February 16 to 20, aims to explore how emerging technologies can address global challenges and drive shared development.
The five-day event is structured around three core pillars, or ‘Sutras’: People, Planet, and Progress.
