New Delhi — US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor said the United States and India can unlock vast potential in artificial intelligence through deeper collaboration between governments and the private sector. Speaking to the US Embassy’s SPAN publication, Gor pointed to recent momentum in bilateral AI work and praised the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi as a useful forum where industry, academia and policymakers began mapping AI’s future.
Gor emphasized that AI is already woven into everyday life, and that governance should be flexible, adaptive and cooperative rather than centralized under a single global body. He argued the challenges and opportunities are nuanced and best addressed through sustained, open communication between Washington and New Delhi.
Looking beyond AI, Gor sketched an ambitious vision for the US-India relationship as a defining strategic partnership of the 21st century that delivers concrete benefits for ordinary citizens. He highlighted goals such as expanded trade opportunities for American farmers in Indian markets, joint research breakthroughs in energy and medicine, and closer military cooperation to support a stable Indo-Pacific.
Gor said the partnership rests on shared democratic values, mutual prosperity and common security interests, and he expects that closer US-India cooperation on technology, trade and defense will influence the global order for generations to come.
