PM Modi at Vivatech: Technology must be democratised and deliver for all
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking at the VivaTech event in Paris alongside French President Emmanuel Macron, outlined India's technology vision, emphasising that technology must serve everyone in an era of disruption.
Modi said, 'Our approach is clear. Our government will enable and industry will innovate. Startups will disrupt and global partners will scale with us. Together, we will move faster than ever. I call upon everyone in this room to take the lead. Work with India and deliver for all.'
Referring to artificial intelligence, the Prime Minister stated, 'AI must improve lives, widen access, drive growth and also help us sustain a healthy planet.' He highlighted the importance of democratising technology, noting, 'When it comes to technology, along with innovation, what matters is access. Technology can lead to progress, only when it is democratized. India believes that in this era of disruption, technology must deliver for all.'
The event, Vivatech, is one of Europe's largest technology and startup conferences. Modi's address comes as part of his visit to France, where he also held bilateral talks with Macron.
