Prof. Abhay Karandikar, Member, NITI Aayog, chaired a discussion with the American Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM) in India and representatives from leading technology companies, including Meta, Google, Microsoft, IBM, Intel, Apple and AWS, on AI policy and governance.
The discussion examined the rapidly evolving AI landscape, including generative AI and increasingly autonomous, agentic systems and the need for governance by design, with appropriate safeguards, accountability and human oversight embedded from the outset.
The interaction also focused on balancing innovation, accountability and trust to enable responsible AI development and adoption at scale, while avoiding unnecessary barriers to innovation.
Industry perspectives on emerging challenges and opportunities will contribute to efforts towards an adaptive AI governance framework that evolves with technology and supports responsible innovation.

Today we're also opening the weights for Muse Glimmer, a great 30B parameter dense model that can run locally. Soon we'll also release the weights for Muse Spark 1.2, our latest foundation model. Meta is a strong supporter of open source and I'm proud of these releases. Congrats to @alexandr_wang and the MSL team for all your great work on these models.
Releasing Muse Code in beta today. It's a terminal coding agent that takes on complete software engineering tasks across large repos: planning changes, writing code, validating the results. Powered by Muse Spark 1.2, a coding-focused model update.
Username reservations are here, as more and more people claim theirs, here’s answers to the top questions you’re asking ⬇️
Q: Are usernames mandatory?
A: Nope, they are optional.
Q: What if the username I want isn’t available?
A: There’s a few reasons you might not be able to reserve the username you want:
1) It’s an existing Instagram or Facebook username; these are reserved for their owners.
2) We’ve held well-known names and some variations of them - like public figures, celebrities, government entities and Meta-verified accounts - so they can only be claimed by their legitimate owners. If you try to reserve those, the system will say it’s not available.
3) Someone already claimed a common name, in that case use the username generator.
Q: What if someone creates a username similar to mine to impersonate me or run a scam, how do you stop someone from pretending to be me?
A: Usernames are not available for messaging yet. When they are, and you get a message from someone new, we’ll let you know the country origin, and a warning for first time outreach. Well-known public-figure names and their variations are held for verified owners. We’re also keeping a close eye on blocks and reports to take action against scammers.
Q: Can random people message me if they know or guess my username?
A: Just like you can’t search for a phone number in WhatsApp, you can’t search for a username. The best way to prevent someone from contacting you is to add a username key and to choose a username that is unique to WhatsApp.
All the current measures remain in place to prevent unwanted contact, including warnings with details about unknown senders (whether they're a new account, if you share groups, what country they're in) and the ability to block and report.
Q: What is a username key?
A: An extra layer of protection you can enable with your username, so that another user will have to know both your username and your username key to contact you. You can reset your key at any time to stop new inbound contact through your username.
Q: Do I have to link my other Meta accounts?
A: If you want the same username as your Instagram or Facebook account, you’ll have to link them. This one of the ways to reduce impersonation and to make sure you’re the legitimate owner of the account. But after that, you can unlink the account if you want, or you can choose a username unique to WhatsApp.
Q: Can I change my username later?
A: Yes, as long as the new one you want is available.
A few more things to keep in mind...
People are making false claims about reserving popular or well-known usernames - this isn't true, only the legitimate account owners are able to reserve well-known public-figure names.
We enabled reservations before usernames launch later this year because we think people will feel strongly about what username they want on WhatsApp. We’re taking our time and listening to feedback so that when it rolls out later this year we get it right.
🇺🇸🤝🇮🇳 A landmark moment for the US-India digital partnership!
USISPF warmly congratulates our members @Meta and Reliance Industries (@RIL_Updates) on establishing @Meta's first AI-enabled data centre in India at Jamnagar, Gujarat, with an initial capacity of 168 MW and options to scale.
This is far more than an infrastructure investment. It is a strong vote of confidence in India's emergence as a global hub for AI and digital innovation, and a powerful example of how American and Indian enterprises can build together at scale.
What makes this especially significant:
🔹 World-class AI infrastructure brought closer to one of the world's largest and fastest-growing digital communities.
🔹 A sustainability-first design: powered by renewable energy and cooled with desalinated seawater.
🔹 Nearly 1 GW of new clean energy contracted across India through partnerships with CleanMax and Fourth Partner Energy, reinforcing a green growth model.
