The US-India Business Council (USIBC) has highlighted the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep tech collaboration between Washington and New Delhi in its latest report, ‘USIBC Recommendations for the New U.S. Administration: Together We Win – हम एक साथ जीतेंगे’. In this report, USIBC has made several key recommendations for the new Trump administration.
A key recommendation from the report is the launch of a US-India AI and Deep Tech Public-Private Council, which would drive ethical AI development, advance research, and support startup collaborations in critical sectors such as healthcare, autonomous systems, and deep learning. “Strengthening collaboration on AI ethics frameworks and cybersecurity can create a secure digital environment and foster innovation,” the report states.
The initiative builds on the work of the USIBC AI Task Force and aims to set global benchmarks while unlocking new opportunities for economic growth and innovation. “Aligning standards and implementing intellectual property protections will enhance business confidence, allowing both nations to capitalize on emerging technologies, expand digital trade, and address shared cybersecurity challenges,” USIBC emphasized.
As the USIBC marks its 50th anniversary in 2025, the report outlines strategic actions to bolster the US-India commercial relationship. These include negotiating flexible, sector-focused trade agreements, creating a fast-track STEM visa program, and strengthening partnerships in energy security, supply chains, and defense innovation.
As part of USIBC’s second recommendation in our report, "USIBC Recommendations for the new U.S. Administration: Together We Win – हम एक साथ जीतेंगे," we emphasize the transformative power of AI and deep tech collaboration between the U.S. and India.

USIBC proposes launching…
Key recommendations from the report:
- Trade Expansion: USIBC calls for negotiating sector-specific trade agreements to unlock billions in economic potential, particularly in defense, pharmaceuticals, and digital services.
- Technology Leadership: The council advocates for joint R&D in AI and quantum technologies to cement leadership in emerging fields.
- STEM Workforce Mobility: A fast-track STEM visa program is proposed to enable professionals from both nations to collaborate on critical projects.
- Energy Security: The report urges the formation of a U.S.-India Energy Trade Alliance to support infrastructure development and secure critical mineral supply chains.
- Defense Cooperation: Recommendations include co-production agreements and joint R&D in defense technologies to strengthen Indo-Pacific security.
- Infrastructure Investment: USIBC suggests fast-tracking billion-dollar infrastructure projects to accelerate economic growth.
“The new administration should champion initiatives that facilitate collaboration on R&D in AI, quantum computing, and other deep tech fields,” USIBC stated, underscoring the urgency of enhancing commercial ties amid evolving global challenges.
Additionally, the report stresses the importance of regulatory predictability, fair taxation, and a business-friendly environment to foster long-term investment. It recommends launching an Intellectual Property Protection Incubator to address regulatory complexities and support U.S. companies operating in India.
With an emphasis on strengthening supply chain resilience, the council calls for establishing pharmaceutical and critical minerals alliances to mitigate dependency on single-source suppliers and ensure economic stability.
The recommendations come at a crucial time as both countries seek to deepen economic cooperation and leverage emerging technologies to address global challenges.
