NEW DELHI—The U.S. National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence is proposing that the United States and India collaborate on artificial intelligence (AI) for defense and security issues to address various geopolitical and societal challenges.

“Our AI commission has recently proposed a formal US-India strategic technology alliance, literally, a formal activity of the US government to develop a regional tech strategy and collaborate on joint research and development projects, talent exchanges ... using AI to address common societal concerns,” commission Chairman Eric Schmidt said in a virtual address to Inspired India, the annual general meeting of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), on Dec. 12.
