Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Neeraj Mittal, Secretary Telecom and Chairman, DCC, said,\u00a0 \u201cWhile the title of the summit is\u00a0<\/em>AI for Good, there is equally\u00a0<\/em>AI for Bad\u00a0\u2014 and risks come along naturally, because AI is truly horizontal and sits atop all verticals. \u2026.and we are able to see how artificial intelligence (AI) tools are leading to deep fakes, voice cloning, financial frauds, bypassing voice signatures, and even videos to establish false identities.\u201d He added, \u201cTherefore, we have to be very vigilant about what the telecom network will look like with artificial intelligence. As we move from 5G to 6G, there is a tremendous role for AI to improve the intelligence in networks, make them self-healing, and move from generative AI to agentic AI\u2026.<\/em>\u00a0to make customer service better.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Under the vision of Hon\u2019ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, India is advancing a trusted, inclusive and human-centric AI ecosystem through the $1.25 billion IndiaAI Mission, in close collaboration with global partners such as ITU, to ensure that technology remains a force for trust, inclusion and progress.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The inaugural session was graced by Bilel Jamoussi, Deputy to the Director and Chief of Telecommunication Standardization Policy Department (TSB), ITU along with senior representatives from UN agencies, DoT and the private sector. The dignitaries emphasised the importance of international collaboration and ethical frameworks to ensure AI technologies deliver meaningful social impact.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
