Major strides have been witnessed worldwide in embracing the artificial intelligence (AI) landscape, which is constantly changing. The rapid growth of AI has raised worries as well, with innovations like ChatGPT and Google Bard seamlessly integrating into millions of people’s lives.
These concerns have led industry groups and experts to advocate for regulations that will ensure the responsible and prudent utilization of AI innovations.
Microsoft has revealed its five-point plan for governing AI in India at a time when the world is eager to realize AI’s boundless potential. Brad Smith, vice chair and president of Microsoft, published a preface on his blog for the company’s paper titled “Governing AI: A Blueprint For India.”
Smith posted a link to the blog post stating the tech giant’s introduction of a 5-point plan for governing AI in India on his X(formerly Twitter) account. He said that to make sure that AI serves everyone, the company’s approach addresses both established and emerging issues and offers strategies for public-private partnerships. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella later posted Smith’s tweet.
