Speaking at the inauguration of the exhibition, EAM Jaishankar hoped that it would heighten awareness and spark a debate about the richness of the inherently pluralistic world and help cast aside prejudices and assumptions about the embrace of technology in the current era
He recalled the AI Impact Summit held in New Delhi earlier this year, which sent a message of inclusivity and larger access to emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence.
EAM Jaishankar saw the exhibition along with his wife, Kyoko Jaishankar; Ambassador Harish Parvathaneni, Permanent Representative of India to the UN, and world-renowned mathematician and a recipient of Padma Bhushan in 2015, Manjul Bhargava
The minister said the exhibition highlights that mathematics is a universal language whose spread has always contributed, and continues to contribute, to the global good
Highlighting the United Nations as the most established platform for international cooperation, he said its message can be used to further strengthen efforts toward closer global collaboration.
