Lex Fridman podcast: PM Modi feels global AI revolution is impossible without India
Indian PM Narendra Modi highlighted the country's growing role in Artificial Intelligence and said the global revolution in the sector would not be complete without India's contribution to it.
“Artificial Intelligence (AI) development is fundamentally a collaborative effort, no nation can develop AI entirely on its own," Modi said while speaking at the Lex Frindman podcast.
He said, “No matter what the world does with AI, it will remain incomplete without India.”
He highlighted India’s active work on AI-driven applications for specific use cases and its unique marketplace-based model to ensure broad accessibility.
He noted that India’s vast talent pool is its greatest strength, remarking, “Artificial intelligence is fundamentally powered, shaped, and guided by human intelligence, and that real intelligence exists abundantly in India’s youth.”
5G Rollout
The Prime Minister shared an example of India’s rapid progress in 5G rollout, which surpassed global expectations.
He highlighted the cost-effectiveness of India’s space missions, such as Chandrayaan, which cost less than a Hollywood blockbuster, showcasing India’s efficiency and innovation.
He emphasized that these achievements generate global respect for Indian talent and reflect India’s civilizational ethos.
Modi also reflected on the success of Indian-origin leaders in global tech, attributing it to India’s cultural values of dedication, ethics, and collaboration.
He said, “People raised in India, especially those from joint families and open societies, find it easier to lead complex tasks and large teams effectively.”
He highlighted the problem-solving abilities and analytical thinking of Indian professionals, which make them globally competitive.
AI And Human Replacement
Addressing concerns about AI replacing humans, the Prime Minister remarked that technology has always advanced alongside humanity, with humans adapting and staying a step ahead.
He said, “Human imagination is the fuel. AI can create many things based on that, but no technology can ever replace the boundless creativity and imagination of the human mind.”
