The platform is designed to strengthen cooperation among the three democracies in cutting-edge domains, including artificial intelligence, clean energy, and critical supply-chain technologies. He said ACITI would support innovation-led growth and help the three partners pool capabilities to accelerate the next generation of technological solutions.
“The initiative will deepen collaboration between democratic partners across three continents and three oceans in emerging technologies, support diversification of supply chains, clean energy and mass adoption of AI,” PM Modi added.
Earlier in the day, addressing G20 leaders, Prime Minister Modi outlined three major proposals to reshape cooperation within the G20 and accelerate inclusive growth worldwide.
