New Delhi: The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), under the IndiaAI Mission and in collaboration with Intel India, will launch a nationwide digital campaign on February 16–17 aimed at promoting ethical, inclusive and responsible use of artificial intelligence.
The initiative, titled “Most pledges received for an AI Responsibility campaign in 24 hours,” will attempt an official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the highest number of pledges recorded within a 24-hour period. The campaign begins at 8:00 AM IST on February 16.
The pledge drive seeks to mobilise citizens across the country to commit to responsible AI practices, reinforcing India’s push towards building a trustworthy and human-centric AI ecosystem.
