Arati Prabhakar Prez Joe Biden’s Science Adviser calls for AI collaboration with India
After the US administration enlisted the help of IT giants
Google and Microsoft to ensure that it is not misused and is being used for the public good.
Arati Prabhakar Science Advisor to President Biden, Arati Prabhakar, asserts that the US and countries like India need to collaborate on shaping the course of artificial intelligence.
Amid conversing with a news agency, the Indian-American Prabhakar stressed that the work that they’re doing includes working with companies to hold them accountable and there’s some important progress on that today.
She added that they are also working on executive actions they can take within the existing law. That the President is considering an executive order that they think can really boost their ability to deal with AI’s harms and also start using it for good.
She further stated, that’s what they can do from the executive branch. Moreover, they will also continue to work with Congress on bipartisan legislation as they start putting legislation forward. Then critically and underpinning all of this is the work that that are doing globally with their international partners and allies, including with India.
As per Arati artificial intelligence was one of the important topics of discussion ar the meeting amidst President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi last month.
That’s because this is a global technology, It’s everywhere with everyone participating and it’s really impacting. It’s going to impact on everyone’s lives and they want to ensure that like-minded countries work together to shape the course of AI.
She recalled PM Modi’s wonderful joke when he addressed Congress in the United States. PM Modi said that he thought AI stood for America, India, which is another war of interpreting it.
Meanwhile the U.S. President on Friday announced voluntary commitments that the administration has worked on with seven leading AI companies that include Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and some of the smaller AI companies.
Aarti added further that it’s such an important step that they have been able to achieve by holding these companies to account because it’s the first time that the industry has started to come together and take responsibility.
She also described AI as the most powerful technology of this time and said the president’s been clear that how it is used is going to express their values.
That’s precisely why she thinks it is much important for like-minded countries, for democratic countries to come together and ensure that we’re working together to use AI in ways that express their values.
