05:00new start-ups are coming, talent is ready for a big pipeline and manufacturing is going
05:07to continue.
05:08In the same way, India has worked with five layers of AI stack, which is also very good
05:16recognition.
05:17The most important thing is the mission to democratize the technology of AI and GPUs,
05:25which is a big factor in common computer facilities.
05:30In that way, many things have been recognized as the Manu Mukhi Mantri Ji said, in every
05:38stage, in every panel, whether renewable energy, medical technology, AI, semiconductor, food
05:47processing, in every sector has a different understanding of the world.
05:51Good evening, sirs.
05:59Thank you for your time.
06:01My name is Sumit.
06:02I'm from Times Now and ET Now.
06:04Just what the Honorable CM said about competitive federalism and collaborative federalism.
06:12Next year, can we expect more states?
06:14This year, 10, which is great.
06:15Can we expect more states?
06:17At the end of Davos, will we be getting some kind of, I don't know, a report from the government
06:23saying, you know, exactly this part with the collaborative strength has made a mark in
06:29Davos of India?
06:31Just thought.
06:32For the federal government, we definitely welcome all the states who would like to participate
06:36and we help them be a part of this entire thing.
06:41And also, we help them set up the right meetings, what kind of meetings they would like to do here
06:47with the business leaders and other leaders.
06:50So, more states get represented here, better it is.
07:03Yes, sir.
07:04I'm Ashutosh from Deutsche Welle.
07:05I wanted to ask you as to, at a time when there is this sort of a trade dialogue going
07:12on between US and India, what's your message from Davos?
07:17What do you want to tell the investors at a time when there is a concern about our trade
07:22relationships with the US?
07:24We are a trusted partner for the world.
07:26Yes, sir.
07:31Sir, my name is Tanushar.
07:34I'm Zee Business.
07:35Sir, do you have any kind of sectors here, any kind of technologies that you want to take
07:42the world to take?
07:43For example, DPI or solar, PM Surya Ghar, Kusum.
07:47Which kind of technologies and technology are you willing to do with the countries?
07:57What do you want to iterate on others?
07:58Or you will want to take a lot of investment in the countries.
08:02What is the same with the other countries?
08:04Even in some areas, all countries, even in many countries, it is very important
08:09to have a great representation of the world and have a great recognition of the world.
08:12If you have any kind of sector, any way like semiconductor, AI, solar, or medical,
08:15in all areas, there are lots of stakeholders and great recognition.
08:18Thank you very much.
08:48Thank you very much.
09:18Thank you very much.
09:48Thank you very much.
10:18Thank you very much.
10:48Thank you very much.
11:18Thank you very much.
11:48Thank you very much.
11:50Thank you very much.
11:52This is Deep Shikha from Economic Times.
11:54So this meeting is happening in the backdrop of very significant geopolitical developments.
12:01What is the sense that you have, what is your sense so far, you know, since you've come here from whatever meetings that you've had with world leaders and so on?
12:12And also, was there any discussion on AI, on regulation or global regulatory framework for AI, if you could elaborate on that?
12:23In this world full of turbulence, everybody is looking for trusted partners who have stable policies, who have a clear thought process.
12:35And India definitely lists very high, any geography, you meet the leader from any country, they consider India as a major, as a partner, as an economy, as a co-developer, as a co-creator, as a country which can be relied upon.
12:55That's the thought process, that's the thought process, that's the feeling we got from interactions.
13:01Regarding AI regulation, yes, there is a serious concern about the way AI can be misused.
13:10Most countries are looking at some sort of regulation, even the tech companies are looking at, in a sense, putting those guardrails within the AI models.
13:20Today, one of the, actually two of the, actually two of the large tech companies, CEOs whom I met, they said that they are actively, in fact, they are on the verge of creating those guardrails,
13:33implementing those guardrails within the AI stacks that they have developed.
13:39And that's very significant because the society at large is getting disturbed by some of the things which a few, few of the models are creating.
13:50If I could just get a follow up.
13:53Many of our trade partners have come with very large delegations, the official delegations also.
14:00And I'm referring to the United States.
14:02Would you be having meetings with the official delegation that is here?
14:06The format of DAVOS is a format where we generally do panels and bilaterals.
14:16The trade meetings which happen, they happen as per the countries, their own schedules and their own negotiations.
14:23We are deeply engaged with all the major economies on practically all fronts at this point of time.
14:30So, and this is not the forum in which we meet delegation to delegation.
14:36So, one last question, short one, you spoke about, both of you spoke about how internationally India is taking UBI ideas there and different blueprints are there.
14:48Are we also, the government also using DAVOS as a forum to maybe hear of international ideas that could be used in India?
14:56Yeah, of course, today I picked a very interesting idea from the UAE where they are now aiming at zero bureaucracy.
15:09So, I like that idea.
15:12In fact, they have a very good economy to support and so every year, you know, they give a prize money of $250,000 to a bureaucrat who brings down the processes and makes it a zero bureaucracy, you know, idea.
15:33So, I think these are some certain things or like Minister Sir was telling about AI being responsible.
15:42So, today one idea was floated that let the AI algorithms be embedded with, you know, some certain regulatory frameworks so that it becomes responsible.
15:55So, I think, yes, you get, it is a place to get ideas.
15:58So, I think, yes, you get, it is a place to get ideas.
