A Board AI Task Force, led by John Chambers, has been launched by USISPF to strengthen AI ecosystems and promote responsible deployment.
The task force will focus on supporting population-scale impact and ensuring responsible development and implementation of AI for nearly two billion people in the US and India. Shantanu Narayen and Raj Subramaniam will co-lead the delegation, including senior leaders from various companies like Microsoft, General Catalyst, and FedEx Corporation. The delegation will work on advancing the TRUST Initiative to boost India’s computational capacity and support startups deploying welfare-focused AI applications.
USISPF will host a session on ‘Scaling Trusted AI for 8 Billion+’ at Bharat Mandapam and official events at The Leela Palace, New Delhi. The partnership aims to shape a trusted global AI ecosystem, with India prioritizing artificial intelligence and the US focusing on trusted AI frameworks. Cooperation will deepen on supply chain resilience and strategic technology, including India’s inclusion in the Pax Silica grouping.
