New Delhi: India is set to play a crucial role in artificial intelligence (AI) and green energy, emerging as a major driver of global economic growth, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said on Monday.
Speaking at a press conference ahead of the 16th Finance Commission meeting, Naidu highlighted the global interest in India's development trajectory, as witnessed at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
"India is the pulling factor for the global economic growth," he said.
Drawing a parallel between the IT boom of 1995 and current advancements, Naidu stressed the growing impact of AI across all sectors.
"In 1995, it was information technology and in 2025 it is AI. At that time, I was party to it, and even today I am party and in power," he said.
He pointed out that AI and green energy, particularly green hydrogen production, were key themes at Davos, with discussions focusing on sustainable solutions to tackle global warming.
Naidu, who played a key role in India’s IT revolution, expressed confidence in the country’s ability to compete in the AI sector.
The World Economic Forum this year saw heightened interest in emerging economies, with India’s technological progress and green energy initiatives drawing attention from global leaders.
