New Delhi [India], February 17 (ANI): Argentina’s Ambassador to India, Mariano Caucino, hailed the country’s role in hosting the Global AI Impact Summit, emphasizing its significance as a major step forward for India in the discourse on artificial intelligence. Speaking in an exclusive interview, Caucino remarked, “It’s a great success for the Indian government to be able to hold this important conference on a subject that everybody is talking about in the world.”
The summit, which kicked off on February 16, is the first international AI summit hosted in the Global South, bringing together leaders, policymakers, technologists, and innovators. Over the course of the event, which runs until February 20, New Delhi aims to position itself as a leader in shaping an inclusive, responsible, and impactful future for AI.
Caucino noted Argentina’s participation, mentioning that the country will host delegates from various states, and expressed gratitude for the opportunity. He praised India’s rapid growth as one of the world’s largest economies, stating, “I think this conference will show leadership in this matter. I can see that you are investing a lot in these technologies, and I think this conference is an example of that.”
The ambassador elaborated on the strengthening bilateral relations between India and Argentina, which he described as being grounded in mutual respect, shared democratic values, and economic complementarity. Currently, the economic exchange between the two countries stands at approximately $5.5 billion, with India emerging as Argentina’s sixth-largest trading partner. Caucino expressed hope for continued growth, stating, “I hope this can continue and can grow and expand into other fields.”
Among the notable attendees of the summit are world leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron, Brazilian President Lula da Silva, and Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, alongside UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. This convergence of high-profile figures underscores the global importance of the discussions taking place in New Delhi.
The summit serves as a platform to discuss the transformative potential of AI not only in governance and innovation but also in fostering sustainable development. India’s hosting of this event showcases its ambition to lead on the global stage in technology and innovation, particularly in areas critical to developing nations.
As discussions unfold, the outcomes of the summit could significantly influence AI policies worldwide, especially in the context of the Global South. India’s approach represents a paradigm shift towards a more inclusive framework for AI development. This aligns with ongoing global conversations around the ethical implications and governance of AI technologies, which are increasingly pivotal in shaping not just economies, but also societies.
In an era where technology continues to advance rapidly, the role of international summits like the Global AI Impact Summit becomes crucial. They provide a necessary venue for collaboration and dialogue, particularly among nations facing similar challenges and opportunities in the digital age.
As the summit progresses, the potential for collaborative efforts in AI governance and ethical standards will likely take center stage, setting a precedent for future international cooperation in this dynamic field.
