Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently met to discuss India’s vast potential in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). During their meeting, the two leaders delved into the strides India has made in AI and expressed optimism about the country’s talented youth.
In a post shared on social media platform X, PM Modi expressed his satisfaction with the meeting. He stated, Had an excellent meeting with Mr. Jensen Huang, the CEO of @nvidia. We talked at length about the rich potential India offers in the world of AI. Mr. Jensen Huang was appreciative of the strides India has made in this sector and was equally upbeat about the talented youth of India.
Nvidia, a US-based multinational technology company founded by Jensen Huang in 1993, has played a significant role in advancing AI technologies. As CEO, Huang has spearheaded the company’s efforts in revolutionizing industries through AI-driven innovations.
PM Modi’s discussion with Jensen Huang aligns with his previous emphasis on the vital role of G20 nations in finding the balance between the opportunities and challenges presented by digital technology. The Prime Minister has consistently highlighted AI’s potential in learning, skilling, and education.
Addressing the G20 Education Ministers’ Meeting earlier this year, PM Modi stressed the importance of research and innovation in the global south. He urged G20 countries to foster increased research collaborations and facilitate continuous skilling, re-skilling, and up-skilling to ensure the readiness of youth for the future.
The Prime Minister also shed light on India’s commitment to research and innovation, citing the establishment of ten thousand ‘Atal Tinkering Labs’ across the country. These labs serve as nurturing grounds for research and innovation among school children, with more than 7.5 million students currently working on over 1.2 million innovative projects.
As India continues to prioritize the development of AI and invest in research and innovation, the nation is poised to become a global leader in the field. The meeting between PM Modi and Jensen Huang signifies a shared belief in India’s rich potential and the promising future of AI in the country.
The discussion also sheds light on the close collaboration between industry leaders like Nvidia and Indian policymakers, aiming to leverage AI technologies to address societal challenges and drive economic growth. By harnessing the power of AI, India can unlock new possibilities in sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, transportation, and manufacturing.
With its vast talent pool and commitment to advancing AI technologies, India is primed to leverage its potential and emerge as a global AI powerhouse in the years to come. The conversation between PM Modi and Jensen Huang is a testament to the country’s determination to build a strong foundation for AI-driven progress and innovation.
