India and the US are working together to advance the use of AI in cyber defense and in protecting critical infrastructure, according to former Donald Trump administration official Lisa Curtis.
Taking part in a panel discussion titled "Strategic Synergies: India-US Technology Cooperation" on May.20 as part of the Motwani Jadeja US-India Dialogue Series, Curtis also referred to joint efforts between the two countries to reduce digital divide between the West and the Global South.
''Together, we are helping shape the framework for the responsible and safe use of AI," Curtis, who was the South Asia point person for President Trump, said at the event. "This is because our two countries share technology values that emphasize both a culture of innovation, but also rules that place human life and human dignity and progress at the center of our AI research and development."
Curtis added that India's leadership at the 2023 G20 summit hosted in New Delhi had already demonstrated the critical role the country will play in the AI sector in the future.
India and US helped countries around the world during pandemic: Sripriya Ranganathan
Indian Deputy Ambassador to the US Sripriya Ranganathan, who was part of the panel discussion, said that a strong US and India relationship not only helps the two countries but also makes the world stronger.
"There is so much that we can offer to each other, there is so much that we can expect from each other, that a strong India-US relationship makes not only our two countries stronger, but it also makes the world stronger," said Ranganathan.
''Examples of this we have seen in very vivid and tangible terms during Covid-19 when we appreciated for the first time just how important it is for us to be able to secure our supply chains not only in areas like defense and what are conventionally the national security priorities but also in areas which are softer like health where it is by working together that we were able to come out of the situation that we were faced with at that time and to also help countries around the world in meeting those challenges," she added.
India-US synergy in tech sector is "an unstoppable flywheel": Vikram Singh
United States India Strategic Partnership Forum Senior Advisor Vikram Singh said that the main basis for cooperation between India and US lies in the fact that America built its engineering economy and Silicon Valley using a lot of Indian talent.
"It's no coincidence that the biggest technology companies in the United States are headed by immigrants from India. It's not a surprise. I grew up in Menlo Park, California, and my street had exactly one Indian family on it. That's me. That same street is now, I think, 70 per cent Indian families," said Singh.
"We have seen a blending of our talent, and that fed back into India's Silicon Valley, mostly Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad, but increasingly all over the country. This synergy is kind of an unstoppable flywheel," he added.
Led by Asha Jadeja, the Motwani Jadeja Family Foundation aims to empower young entrepreneurs in India and beyond through fellowships, direct investments, and partnerships.
