In a world where geopolitical power is being defined partly by the race between the United States and China to dominate artificial intelligence, India has a pitch for those left behind. Instead, India is using technology as a tool of foreign policy, casting itself as a moral voice for the smaller, developing countries of the Global South, which may lack the resources to tackle the A.I. superstorm that has hit the world. At the A.I. Impact Summit in New Delhi this week — attended by the leaders of countries including Spain, Bolivia, Mauritius and Sri Lanka — India emphasized that the main questions were about how A.I. should be governed and how it should be used for the welfare of the people.Coming as it did amid a seismic shift in the world order, where countries are running helter-skelter to protect their interests and form new alliances after President Trump tossed out old orthodoxies and where China appears unstoppable, international relations were hard to ignore. Do you think that India should develop its own AI to compete with USA and China ?
