Artificial intelligence | Unlocking opportunities

Artificial Intelligence is poised to be the most significant gamechanger of our time.

What follows are R M Consulting’s perspectives on various aspects of AI, including its technologies, policy landscape, and broader implications, with a focus on the Indian context. This is part of our ongoing effort to contribute meaningfully to the evolving discourse around this transformative technology.

Our focus on India is deliberate. As the world’s most populous nation and home to nearly 18% of the global population, India offers a unique and critical test case for understanding the real-world impact of AI. It provides an unparalleled opportunity to assess whether AI can truly serve as a force for good for all. 

We look forward to your feedback on our views and welcome a broader dialogue around the responsible and impactful adoption of AI in India.

G7 2025 summit & Expectations on AI

It is almost a given that geopolitical issues are likely to take centre-stage during discussions at the G7 summit in Canada. But even amidst all that, when it comes to AI, may we expect to hear anything at the latest G7 summit apart from a reiteration of how artificial intelligence can be a game-changer and, also, how there is a requirement of creating an enabling atmosphere for innovations in artificial intelligence to bloom through the adoption of a pro-innovation regulatory/governance framework?

AI Action Summit & making the tech work for all

The Artificial Intelligence Action Summit to be held in Paris on February 10-11 – the first global conference on AI since Donald Trump assumed office as US President for a second time – will test the extent to which countries are willing to go when it comes to collaboration for ensuring responsible and safe use of the technology.

Apulia G7 Leaders’ Communique, AI, & India

With artificial intelligence forming a part of the agenda of the G7 Italy summit held on June 13-15, it was always expected that assembled leaders at the event would reiterate their commitment to work together for ensuring the safe and responsible use of sophisticated AI technologies.

AI Safety Institute & India: No more a question of why but when

As far as an AI Safety Institute in India is concerned, we may be past the stage of asking why the world’s most populous nation needs such a facility and got to a point where the question is when the country would come up with one. With that query followed by a supplementary one on how and in what way this facility in India could be different, if so, from similar set-ups in the UK and the United States.

AS IN THE US & UK, INDIA MUST ALSO HAVE AN AI SAFETY INSTITUTE

India should consider establishing an AI Safety Institute on the lines of those existing in the UK and the US to ensure that the increasing use of sophisticated artificial intelligence technologies can benefit everybody in the world’s most populous nation while simultaneously minimizing risks associated with the tech.

Elections, political parties, AI, & jobs
