India-France relations will see another boost during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to France from February 10-12. PM Modi will visit Paris to attend and co-chair the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit at the invitation of the French President Emmanuel Macron. France said the gathering will focus on concrete actions to ensure that the global AI sector can drive beneficial social, economic and environmental outcomes in the public interest. The summit will address five primary themes: public interest in AI, future of work, innovation and culture, trust in AI, and global governance of AI. The French President emphasised the importance of AI as a global conversation, stating that it will include countries such as the US, China, and India, as well as countries from the Gulf, which have significant roles in developing and regulating AI technologies.
