Lastly, we need to ensure that technology is embedded within local ecosystems to achieve its effectiveness and utility," PM Modi stressed.

AI is advancing at an unparalleled scale and speed, with adoption and deployment occurring even more rapidly. There is a profound interdependence that transcends borders.
