New Delhi: A senior policy advisor to the White House has called on partner nations, including India, to make full use of the United States’ advanced artificial intelligence infrastructure to develop solutions that directly benefit their citizens.
Speaking on the sidelines of the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, Srinivas Krishna from the US House Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence described India as a dynamic democracy with strong capabilities in research and technology. He noted that many of the world’s leading AI model developers are based in the United States, supported by substantial investments in advanced computing infrastructure, graphics processing units and high end AI chips. Companies such as Nvidia have played a central role in building this ecosystem.
Krishna said that while the US has established itself as a leader in AI innovation and hardware, countries like India can focus on deploying these advancements to improve public services and overall quality of life. He cited education as one example where AI driven tools could significantly enhance outcomes, and added that applications can extend beyond healthcare into broader civic systems.
Referring to India’s AI Action Plan, he outlined three priority areas: accelerating innovation, strengthening domestic AI infrastructure and taking a leadership role in shaping global AI governance frameworks. He stressed that policy and collaboration must go hand in hand with technological development.
Krishna also underlined the importance of open scientific cooperation, pointing to research driven organisations such as OpenAI and Anthropic as examples of institutions contributing to shared discovery and progress.
He highlighted the TRUST initiative as a mechanism to deepen cooperation between India and the United States across artificial intelligence, semiconductors, quantum technologies, biotechnology and space. Additionally, work is underway under the US India initiative on Critical and Emerging Technology to advance joint efforts in AI development, semiconductor supply chains, defence innovation and advanced materials.
Krishna concluded that rapid scientific breakthroughs are reshaping global industries, and said the current phase of technological change presents significant opportunity for collaborative progress.
