Humans shouldn't remain a data point for AI, need to be in control: PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said artificial intelligence (AI) must be made inclusive and democratised so that it is a tool for empowerment. He urged nations to treat the technology as a medium for the “global common good.”
“The real question is not what we do with AI in the future but what we do with it now,” Modi said, drawing a parallel with nuclear power. “We’ve seen both sides of it; it could mean disruption or solution, depending on which direction it is given,” he added.
Speaking at the India AI Impact Summit, the PM said humans should not remain “just a data point”, and that AI has to become a platform of inclusivity, especially for the Global South. “We have to give AI the open sky, but also have to keep the command in our hands. Like GPS shows us the way, but where we have to go is decided by us,” he said.
Modi called for open access to technology and knowledge sharing. “India believes that when technology is shared, when code is open and shared, that’s when millions of young minds can be enriched,” he said.
Raising concerns about misinformation, Modi said deepfakes and fabricated content are polluting open digital spaces. “Like food labels, the digital world’s content needs authenticity labels so people know what’s real and what’s fake,” he said, adding that watermarking and clear source standards are essential for building trust in AI systems.
Modi also stressed the need to make the AI ecosystem safe for children, describing it as a “family-guided space” similar to a school syllabus.
PM Modi also unveiled India's comprehensive "MANAV Vision" for AI, outlining a human-centric framework for ethical, accountable and inclusive AI governance.
Addressing delegates at the summit in the national capital, the Prime Minister said, "Today at the New Delhi AI Impact Summit, I present the MANAV Vision for AI. MANAV means human."
Explaining the acronym, he said, "'M' stands for moral and ethical systems - AI should be based on ethical guidance. 'A' stands for accountable governance, meaning transparent rules and robust oversight. 'N' stands for national sovereignty - whose data, his right. 'A' stands for accessible and inclusive - AI should be a multiplier, not a monopoly. 'V' stands for valid and legitimate - AI should be lawful and verifiable."
