Artificial intelligence has the potential to become one of the greatest tools for human development, but only if it is guided by strong ethical principles and a commitment to human welfare.

Prime Minister Modi highlighted this transformative potential when he stated: “AI can help transform millions of lives by improving health, education, agriculture and so much more.” [AI Action Summit, Paris – Opening Address, 11 February 2025]

At the heart of India’s approach is a broader civilisational philosophy. As PM Modi noted: “The guiding spirit, ‘Sarvajan Hitay, Sarvajan Sukhaye’, reflects India’s civilisational philosophy. The end goal of technology should be ‘Welfare for All, Happiness of All’.” [India AI Impact Summit 2026 – Pre-Summit Interview, ANI, 17 February 2026]

A similar vision has been articulated by Pope Leo XIV: “Technology has the power to heal, connect, educate and protect our common home; but it can also divide, exclude and generate new forms of injustice. Together with them, we seek to identify new paths for the common good and for promoting a dignified life for all.”

Despite coming from different traditions and institutions, both leaders point toward the same moral imperative. The Pope’s concept of the “common good” and PM Modi’s principle of “Welfare for All, Happiness of All” converge on a shared belief that AI should not be treated merely as a commercial or strategic asset. Rather, it should be harnessed to serve people through health, education, agriculture, public services, climate action, and last-mile empowerment.

This growing convergence reflects an emerging global consensus: the future of AI must be ethical, inclusive, and centred on human dignity.
