Semiconductor mission not just about meeting domestic requirements: EAM

India’s semiconductor mission is not just about meeting domestic requirements but also aimed at contributing to global demand for trusted manufacturing, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Sunday.

In an address at a conference, he told top executives of leading global semiconductor firms that their decisions and relationships have implications far beyond immediate business and can contribute to re-engineering the global economy.

The external affairs minister argued that trust and transparency have emerged as key issues for the future of the digital domain and questions like who processes and harvests “our data is increasingly crucial in a world of artificial intelligence.”
