WASHINGTON, D.C. (AI Reporter/News): The U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC) has officially launched its Artificial Intelligence Task Force (AI-TF), marking a crucial initiative to synchronize U.S. and Indian leadership efforts in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).
Under the auspices of USIBC, the AI-TF will advance AI concepts and principles, drive multistakeholder processes, and promote the development and commercialization of AI technologies. The AI-TF builds on the Chamber of Commerce’s AI principles and endorsement of the OECD’s recommendations on AI.
As we embark on this transformative journey with the establishment of the AI-TF under USIBC’s leadership, our strategic focus is clear. The AI-TF is a game-changer, especially needed amid the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence.”
Atul Keshap, Ambassador USIBC President
“Through this initiative, we seek to harness the immense potential of AI, propelling competitiveness in both U.S. and Indian economies and our citizen-led societies. Together, we look forward to shaping a future where AI is a catalyst for progress, bringing forth advancements that uphold our shared values and democratic principles and drives economic prosperity for both our great democracies,” he added.
The Committee’s industry leaders include Kamal Ahluwalia, President at Ikigai Labs; and Todd Skinner, President of International at TransUnion; alongside USIBC Board Chairman and Executive Vice Chairman of Nasdaq, Ed Knight.
The creation of USIBC’s AI-TF is major step toward fostering a deeper partnership on the most innovative and transformative technologies of our time.

“The Task Force will encourage a principled approach to AI adoption, ensuring that these transformative technologies can be harnessed in a manner that is safe and secure. The USIBC looks forward to continued discussions with the U.S. and India as we help bolster our countries’ AI leadership.”
Partnerships will be key to the future of a trustworthy, safe, and secure AI enterprise. AI is advancing at an incredible pace, requiring researchers to collaborate and share resources for cutting-edge innovations and discoveries alongside a commitment to shared values and principles.

“Collaboration is critical to ensure communities have access to the solutions they need to address water challenges,” said Matthew Pine, Xylem president and CEO.
“This collaboration is why Xylem launched the Reservoir Center for Water Solutions alongside water sector leaders, and why we were honored to gather Director Panchanathan and the U.S.-India Business Council to announce the creation of the AI Task Force.”
The U.S.-India Business Council
Established in 1975 at the behest of the U.S. and Indian Governments, the U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC) represents hundreds of top global companies operating across the United States, India, and the Indo-Pacific.
Amid dynamic growth within the U.S.-India commercial partnership, we serve as the premier voice of industry and create connections between businesses and governments across both countries.
Through its flagship Washington, D.C. and New Delhi offices and presences across both countries, it works with members to identify and advance key policy priorities. Recognizing that U.S.-India trade is increasingly driven by new business hubs, USIBC is also focused on strengthening connections between cities and states.
USIBC’s policy expertise and impact are enhanced by being a part of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, whose thousands of member companies represent the power of free enterprise to enhance the peace, freedom, and security of people in America and around the world.
