Indian Minister Welcomes Biden's AI Order, Predicts Job Opportunities from Imminent AI Advancements

The minister welcomed Biden's executive order on regulating AI risks and said India shares the goal of prioritizing user safety.

He said India aims to create a framework focused on preventing user harm, similar to the US emphasis on safety and accountability.

The minister predicted artificial general intelligence will arrive in our lifetimes, though not immediately.

He believes AI will create opportunities, not threaten jobs, if people adapt and gain new skills.

The minister dismissed opposition hacking claims as election season allegations, but said the government will investigate.
