Washington: India Among 35 Nations In US-Led Push For Trusted Ai Supply Chains
“A commitment to trusted supply chains, to mobilising the private sector, and the infrastructure that will power the next century”: Jacob Helberg
WASHINGTON: Thirty-five countries, including India, have joined a United States-led initiative aimed at building trusted and resilient supply chains for artificial intelligence technologies.
At the second Pax Silica Summit held in Washington on Thursday, participating nations signed the Joint Statement on AI Opportunity, endorsing a pro-growth and pro-innovation regulatory approach for the AI sector, according to Jacob Helberg.
“A commitment to trusted supply chains, to mobilising the private sector, and the infrastructure that will power the next century,” he said.
Countries including Argentina, Germany, the Netherlands, Chile, Costa Rica, Greece, Kazakhstan, Panama, and the European Union joined the Pax Silica initiative on the sidelines of the summit.
India was represented by S. Krishnan, secretary, ministry of electronics and information technology, Nagraj Naidu, additional secretary (Americas) in the ministry of external affairs, along with industry representatives. The delegation engaged with participating countries on cooperation in semiconductors, artificial intelligence and resilient technology supply chains.
“The future of AI will not be determined by who regulates first. It will be determined by who builds first and builds the most capacity. More energy. More compute. More chips. More talent. More builders. A future where we accelerate innovation and private investment is welcomed,” Helberg said.
“Together, we aspire to build an AI future that serves our peoples, strengthens our economies, and empowers entrepreneurship, innovation, and the rule of law,” he added.
The US official said the Pax Silica initiative began in December last year with a small group of countries, and India joined it in February on the sidelines of the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi.
