The Committee’s industry leaders include Kamal Ahluwalia, President at Ikigai Labs; Todd Skinner, President of International at TransUnion and USIBC Board Chairman and Executive Vice Chairman of Nasdaq, Ed Knight, according to the USIBC press release.

Ed Knight said, “The creation of USIBC’s AI-TF is major step towards fostering a deeper partnership on the most innovative and transformative technologies of our time.”

“The Task Force will encourage a principled approach to AI adoption, ensuring that these transformative technologies can be harnessed in a manner that is safe and secure. The USIBC looks forward to continued discussions with the US

US National Science Foundation Director Sethuraman Panchanathan called partnerships a key to the future of a “trustworthy, safe, and secure AI enterprise.” He noted that artificial intelligence is at an incredible pace, which requires “researchers to collaborate and share resources for cutting-edge innovations and discoveries alongside a commitment to shared values and principles.”

In the press release, Xylem president and CEO Matthew Pine said, “Collaboration is critical to ensure communities have access to the solutions they need to address water challenges.”

“This collaboration is why Xylem launched the Reservoir Center for Water Solutions alongside water sector leaders, and why we were honoured to gather Director Panchanathan and the US-India Business Council to announce the creation of the AI Task Force,” he added.

Notably, the USIBC represents hundreds of top global companies operating across the United States, India, and the Indo-Pacific. Through their flagship offices in Washington, DC and New Delhi and their presence across both nations, USIBC works with its members to identify and advance key policy priorities. (ANI)
