India’s Ambassador to the US, Vinay Mohan Kwatra, shared India’s approach to artificial intelligence (AI) development at a conference. He emphasized inclusivity, affordability, and population-scale impact as key pillars of India’s AI vision. Ambassador Kwatra highlighted the importance of democratizing access to AI innovations to benefit society at large.
India’s AI model focuses on making technology open, affordable, and accessible to all individuals. The framework includes three sutras and seven interconnected chakras that guide the deployment and adoption of AI products. These principles aim to build human capital, ensure safe and trusted AI, and promote innovation and efficiency.
Ambassador Kwatra underscored India’s strengths in rapidly diffusing technology across its diverse population. He mentioned the country’s digital public infrastructure as an example of a platform that reaches the entire population at minimal costs. India is working on developing sovereign AI models that align with local data, culture, and context to address issues like data security and bias mitigation.
In terms of international cooperation, Ambassador Kwatra highlighted the complementary strengths of India and the US in the AI ecosystem. He emphasized the importance of inclusivity, transparency, and safety in the future of AI. India aims to strengthen its society through AI partnerships with other nations, with the upcoming AI Impact Summit 2026 set to facilitate global collaborative actions.
