India AI Impact Summit Pax Silica: India has become a part of an alliance named Pax Silica. It has been created by America which includes many countries of the world. Through this alliance, India will be helped to move ahead in the field of AI and semiconductors.
What is Pax Silica?
Pax Silica is a major strategic framework of the US government. Under this, America is developing a common network of technology and industrial ecosystem with its trusted partner countries. This is being seen as an initiative to challenge China’s dominance over the global manufacturing supply chain.
Which countries are in Pax Silica?
Its main objective is to create a secure and reliable global supply chain for AI and semiconductor industry. Continuous supply of critical minerals required for technological development is an important part of this strategy. This group, formed in December, includes many countries including Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Australia and Israel. Now after India’s formal integration, its strategic importance has increased further.
Why was this alliance formed?
This alliance is designed to secure the entire chip manufacturing process. That is, from the essential minerals extracted from the mines to the chip manufacturing factories and the data centers where advanced AI is run – its objective is to ensure security and reliable supply at every level.
Will this deepen relationships?
India has joined the initiative at a time when India-US relations have seen some unease in recent months over trade deals and other global issues. However, recently an interim agreement has been agreed between the two countries. Experts believe that this step will further deepen bilateral cooperation, especially in the emerging technology and semiconductor sector. India’s role will be strengthened in the strategy to balance China’s dominance.
