35 Nations Sign AI Opportunity Statement

Thirty-five nations, including India, have signed the Joint Statement on AI Opportunity at the second Pax Silica Summit in Washington. This US-led initiative aims to build trusted and resilient supply chains for artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and promote a pro-growth, pro-innovation regulatory approach for the AI era. Key signatories include India, Argentina, Germany, the Netherlands, Chile, Costa Rica, Greece, Kazakhstan, Panama, and the European Union. The Indian delegation, led by Ajit Krishnan and Nagraj Naidu, engaged in discussions on advancing collaboration in semiconductors, AI, and resilient technology supply chains. Jacob Helberg, US Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs, emphasized that the future of AI will be determined by building capacity, energy, compute, chips, and talent, rather than by regulation alone. The initiative, which began in December last year, saw India join in February on the sidelines of the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi.
