Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates met Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The two are said to have held a dialogue centred around harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) for the greater good of the public.
The leaders expressed their shared commitment to sectors that hold the potential to enhance the planet and uplift millions worldwide.
“A wonderful meeting indeed! Always a delight to discuss sectors which will make our planet better and empower millions of people across the globe,” said Prime Minister Modi in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

The two also reportedly discussed DPI, women-led development. Microsoft co-founder Gates also emphasised the lessons learned from India and spreading them across the world.
“It is always inspiring to meet with @narendramodi, and there was a lot to discuss. We talked about AI for public good; DPI; women-led development; innovation in agriculture, health, and climate adaptation; and how we can take lessons from India to the world,” Bill Gates posted on X.
Earlier, Gates met external affairs minister S Jai Shanakar. The two leaders, as they met, also exchanged books. In a post on X, Jaishankar shared a picture of him and Gates posing for a picture with their respective books. “A good book exchange with @BillGates. And a great conversation,” Jaishankar wrote.
