Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, talked about important problems like artificial intelligence (AI), preventing climate change, and empowering women.
They talked about India's strategic focus on AI, which was shown by the fact that the IndiaAI project was recently approved with a large budget. The goal of this mission is to build a strong AI environment by coordinating partnerships and projects between different industries. This will encourage new ideas and sustainable growth for everyone. PM Modi talked about programs that give women more power, like the revolutionary Namo Drone Didi program that teaches women how to fly drones and promotes economic freedom and rural development through sustainability.
India's big climate promises, like the "Panchamrit" promise made at the COP26 summit, were also brought up in the talk. PM Modi talked about India's digital change and emphasized that the country's approach to technology is open to everyone to avoid monopolies.
Bill Gates praised India for being a leader in using and improving technology, especially in government. PM Modi also talked about how AI can be used in different areas of government and society. He used the 2023 G20 Summit and projects like the NaMo App as examples. He also talked about India's ability to use AI to achieve radical growth and stressed how important it is to focus on healthcare, agriculture, and education.
