✅ The difficult state of the world, with multiple conflicts and the 4F (food, fuel, fertiliser & finance) crisis.
✅ The paradox of obsessive competition and deep interdependence.
✅ The indivisibility of the landscape requires cohesive outlook.
✅ The multiple causes of current turbulence.
✅ The inevitability of multipolarity.

Pleased to co-chair the event on ‘AI in the Context of International Peace & Security, with an Emphasis on Maritime Security’, alongside FM George Gerapetritis of Greece.
➡️ Emphasized the need to harness the possibilities offered by AI, anticipate its consequences and mitigate its risks. This calls for an approach that enables innovation while remaining conscious of its security implications.
➡️ Shared that the New Delhi Declaration emphasises democratic access to AI resources, building secure and trustworthy systems, investing in human capabilities and harnessing AI for economic growth & social good.
➡️ Highlighted that in the maritime domain, AI can enhance maritime domain awareness, search & rescue, disaster response, identification of suspicious activity and resilience of ports & critical infrastructure. At the same time, it can enable sophisticated reconnaissance, vulnerability mapping & cyber operations targeting vessels, communication networks & undersea infrastructure.
➡️ Underlined that increasing autonomy in maritime systems raises questions of attribution, accountability & escalation, while also compressing decision making time.
➡️ Pointed out that in the maritime domain, the UN Charter & international law, including the law of the sea, remain essential frameworks governing State conduct. Greater transparency, confidence building, capacity development, technical cooperation & exchange of best practices are essential to ensure that AI is developed and used consistent with these principles.
➡️ Reaffirmed that AI and maritime security remain important priorities for India at the United Nations.
