New Delhi [India], July 3 (HBTV): France's Permanent Representative to Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Amelie de Montchalin, said India and France are working together as the two nations share the same vision on what artificial intelligence (AI) can bring as a tool for more development, innovation, and prosperity.
Speaking to ANI, Amelie de Montchalin noted that France and India have digital public infrastructure in common.
On being asked about India and France's role in AI, Montchalin said, "So, India and France are really working together because we have the same vision of what AI can bring as a tool for more development, as a tool for innovation, as a tool for prosperity. But, we also have the same values."
"We want to keep our sovereign autonomy to make sure that we are having the control of our technologies,” she said.
“We have the same vision of cyber. So, the fact that we work together is also the sign that we want to make sure that AI is at the service of all people, all across the planet, so without division between what we call the north and the south," she added.
Asked whether there is any discussion between two nations in terms of AI, Amelie de Montchalin said, "So as you know, France and India, we have something in common, which are digital public infrastructure. I was in charge of civil service reform and I was in charge of the digital public services in France. And they are very close and very similar in their thinking from what you do here in India with your very successful digital public infrastructure. So we will continue to work together on this."
"We are also discussing as part of the global partnership on AI, how to be AI for good, open AI solutions to face climate change, agriculture, smart cities, water resources, and make sure that these algorithms are free, open, not just for India and France, but also to other developing and emerging countries, and this is something I know in India wants to do even more and that France will support and we will do together," Montchalin added.
