New Delhi, February 20 UK Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy emphasized the importance of having safe, inclusive, and equitable artificial intelligence available to everyone on Friday.
Speaking at a session at the AI Impact Summit in the national capital, Lammy said that the world faces two paths with respect to Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The choices the world faces are two paths – one which sees AI taking power and opportunity away from people and "sadly divides us"; and another one that sees AI used as a force for good to solve problems and uplift all of humanity, he said.
The session was on 'Speaking Everyone's Language: The Key to Inclusive AI Opportunity'
Lammy also mentioned certain projects related to AI, including the Asia AI Development Observatory, which would be a new network to support responsible AI governance and other aspects.
These projects, as well as many new institutions and coalitions that are now emerging, can help ensure that "we go down the right path. That is a path of a safe AI, an inclusive AI, and importantly, an equitable AI for everyone," he said.
Earlier this week, the UK government said its focus during the AI Impact Summit would be on championing how AI can supercharge growth, unlock new jobs, improve public services, and deliver benefits for people across the globe.
