00:00Anil Trigwaniyat is India's former ambassador to Jordan, Libya and Malta.
00:06Well, I think we will require, since it's going to be a global problem, it will require a global solution.
00:13So therefore, it is extremely important that whatever standards are adopted are equitable and are applicable to all.
00:22And there should not be generally the people who are drafting these rules and others who are following.
00:32So there should be an equal participation as there is going to be an equal ethnic community.
00:38So I think this is what Prime Minister Modi in India has been talking about, that AI means AI for
00:44all and not for some.
00:46So this is why it's important that this particular focus is maintained by all the developing countries in this new
00:53kind of technological domination that is very likely to continue.
00:59Can this global governance framework truly create AI for all if the United States is not on board as well?
01:10Well, I think that this is something that today, the United States may be the super technological superpower.
01:17There's no doubt about it.
01:19But at the same time, there are other centers of, I think, the technological excellence and competition are coming out
01:28with a different philosophy altogether, which is non-Western philosophy.
01:32And I think that this is something that would eventually need to merge somewhere for the global benefit.
01:38I mean, that's precisely what the whole world is trying to do, that until and unless you have the same
01:45rules for otherwise, otherwise there will be a new kind of a new, I should say, colonialism in the technological
01:52domain.
01:52And that will be disastrous for the world because we don't know what we are getting into today, as the
01:57AI has shown.
01:58What role does India, as one of the founding member countries of the BRICS bloc, see for itself in connection
02:06with AI development?
02:07As far as BRICS is concerned, I think India follows the policy of promoting equitable access to AI technologies for
02:16developing countries.
02:17That is something to the BRICS.
02:18And it is also providing us some kind of a digital cooperation in a non-Western format.
02:24So there is a different kind of system that's likely to come about that.
02:27And there should be some kind of a reduction in the dependence on global technology providers who can dictate that
02:37because, see, the more you are attuned into it, the more you are dependent on it, the more likely you
02:43are to be exploited.
02:44So therefore, it is absolutely important that there are other possibilities for encouraging collaborations in AI research and innovation by
02:53different actors.
