NEW DELHI: Welcoming the announcement about the release of Gaza hostages, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stressed, once again, that terrorism was “unacceptable” to everyone and the death of civilians, anywhere, was condemnable.
In his opening remarks at the virtual summit of Leaders of G20 countries on November 22, PM Modi said, “We welcome the news of the release of hostages today, and hope for the swift release of all hostages.”
PM Modi’s comments came on a day Israel and Hamas reached an agreement for a four-day ceasefire and release of some hostages and Palestinian prisoners. Calling for timely and continuous delivery of humanitarian aid, he said, “It is also crucial to ensure that the conflict between Israel and Hamas does not take on any kind of regional form”.
Raising another serious issue, PM Modi expressed concern about deepfakes and echoed the call for global regulations on Artificial Intelligence. “In the era of Artificial Intelligence, there is a need to use technology in a responsible manner.
There is growing concern about the negative use of AI all over the world,” he said, and added: “India firmly believes that we should work together on global regulation of AI. We desire that AI should reach the people, and it must be safe for the society.” The PM also said that the Global AI Partnership Summit will be hosted in India next month.
