In a significant stride towards collaboration on technology, an 'India Chair on Artificial Intelligence' is set to be established at a university in Slovakia.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi made the announcement on Monday during his visit to Slovakia, the first visit of an Indian Prime Minister to the European nation, marking a pivotal moment as both countries elevated their bilateral relations to a Comprehensive Partnership.
Following high-level delegation talks, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on digital technology was signed, aiming to unlock new avenues of cooperation in digital public infrastructure.
"Technology is an important pillar of our future partnership. The MoU signed today on digital technology will open new avenues of cooperation in digital public infrastructure," PM Modi said in his remarks during the joint press statement with Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fiko.
"I am pleased that an India Chair on the subject of AI is being established at a university in Slovakia," PM Modi said, according to a post shared by the Prime Minister's Office on X.
The Prime Minister added that AI should become "a powerful means of serving and advancing humanity", stressing that its development should prioritise ethical considerations.
