At a special event conducted on the fringes of the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi on Friday, India became a signatory to the Pax Silica Declaration, joining the Pax Silica project. As a bilateral addition to the Declaration, India also signed a Joint Statement on the “India-US AI Opportunity Partnership.”
The documents were signed by U.S. Ambassador to India Sergio Gor, U.S. Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy and the Environment Jacob Helberg, and Secretary of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology S. Krishnan, according to the Indian Ministry of External Affairs.
In particular, silicon and essential minerals that support semiconductors, sophisticated computing, and other high-tech systems are the focus of Pax Silica’s efforts to create safe, robust, and innovation-driven supply chains for technologies at the core of the AI era.
India and the United States seek to enhance free enterprise, improve the physical AI stack, and encourage pro-innovation regulatory policies through the Joint Statement on the AI Opportunity Partnership.
In addition to facilitating industry partnerships and investments in next-generation data centers, the partnership aims to empower AI developers, startups, and ecosystem enablers, explore collaborative research and development, improve collaboration on access to compute and advanced processors, and accelerate innovation in AI models and applications.
