What All Happened on Tuesday?

PM Modi co-chaired the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit and the 14th India-France CEOs Forum in Paris and said that it was more than just a business event, “it’s a convergence of the brightest minds from India and France.”

While addressing the AI Summit, PM Modi said “Loss of jobs is AI’s most feared disruption, but history has shown that work does not disappear due to technology, only its nature changes. We need to invest in skilling and re-skilling our people for an AI-driven future.”
