Sunil Mittal

Founder and chairman of Bharti Enterprises.

We need to think about the regulation. I don't think we need to stifle it or stop the growth of it, but equally, it will be foolish for anybody to think that we can let it flow to a level, and then if an accident happens, then we'll think about it. [...] AI system cannot be in isolation and must be part of a global system. [...] The same logic should apply to AI systems, whether they originate in China, the US or elsewhere. Unfortunately, that conversation is not happening at the pace it should.
