Ambassador Gerards noted, “Now we’re going to strengthen our relationship in key enabling technologies like AI, like semiconductors, for example. There, we will also connect your IITs to our technical universities. It’s both government-to-government and research-to-research. And that will all get approved during the AI Summit, because it will bring together those three parties-government, industry and research institute. So I think it will be a wonderful platform.”
