New Delhi, Jan 29: India is ready to play a larger global role in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-led climate action, said Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology and Earth Sciences, Dr Jitendra Singh. Further, the Minister said the country was no longer inward-looking and was increasingly expected to contribute ideas and solutions to international efforts on climate and technology. Artificial intelligence, he said, was similarly transformative and had become critical for analysing climate data, forecasting disasters, and managing resources. Singh also issued a clear caution against blind or uncritical use of artificial intelligence and emphasised the need for AI to be used with human judgement. He emphasised the importance of hybrid models that combine artificial intelligence with human oversight, judgement, and empathy.
