Artificial Intelligence

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday the US has proposed a new "notification mechanism" for artificial intelligence incidents that could affect national security, part of weekend discussions ahead of talks at the White House this week between President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping. "We want a shared vision of common goals and common threats," Bessent told reporters after talks with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in New York. "We think that just like any cross-border activity, that moving from opaque to more transparency between the No. 1 and the No. 2 AI powers in the world is very important." Trump has resisted calls to slow down AI development, saying that would help China catch up to US companies. Standing together in the soaring lobby of the JPMorgan Chase headquarters late Sunday, Bessent and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the groundwork had been laid for talks between Xi and Trump set to take place on Thursday. They said the two sides had agreed t

Salesforce sees India entering a phase of wider enterprise AI adoption, with companies moving beyond experimentation to production deployments and the country offering significant "white space" for digital and agentic AI growth, President and CEO, South Asia, Arundhati Bhattacharya, said. In an interview to PTI, she affirmed the shift by Indian firms, sharing that Salesforce will continue to invest in physical infrastructure, upskilling Indian talent and recruitment. "So I would say that yes, they (Indian companies) are moving towards putting things in production," Bhattacharya said, responding to a question on whether Indian firms were moving towards large-scale deployment after experimenting with generative AI and AI agents. Elaborating on Salesforce's India plans, Bhattacharya said a new tower in Bengaluru is expected to come on stream next calendar year as one of its investments in the country. "We have already invested in a tower in Bangalore, and that should be coming on stre

International norms for military AI must be established at the research and defence-planning stages, before AI-enabled systems reach the battlefield, an Indian expert said at an annual international security dialogue platform in China. There is an urgent need to establish international norms governing military AI before AI-enabled systems are deployed in actual conflicts, said Sujan R Chinoy, Director General of the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (MP-IDSA), speaking on "AI & Future Warfare" at the Beijing Xiangshan Forum, China's premier annual international security dialogue platform. Chinoy said that according to experts and strategic policymakers, AI is fundamentally changing the character of modern warfare, compressing the time available for decision-making and creating new vulnerabilities that require urgent global norms.
