Indian Prime Minister Modi posted today: "During our meeting with Mr. Antonio Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, we discussed how to make artificial intelligence benefit everyone, and how the United Nations can play a constructive role in this regard. We reiterated India's support for any efforts aimed at using artificial intelligence to benefit the Earth. We also exchanged views on United Nations reform, especially how to give greater voice to countries in the Global South."
Comment: The essence of Modi's meeting with the UN Secretary-General and focusing on AI governance and UN reform is that India is leveraging the moral banner of the Global South to compete for voice and leadership on the international stage. He is seizing the moral high ground of AI inclusivity while pushing for reforms in the UN mechanism. On the surface, he speaks for developing countries, but in reality, it is an effort to position India for a permanent seat on the Security Council and to shape its image as a major power.
