During a meeting between London Lord Mayor Michael Mainelli and Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, a proposal was made to name an AI Hub in London after Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. This historical figure, celebrated in 17th-century Indian history, is known for his resistance against the Mughal ruler Aurangzeb and for implementing efficient administrative systems in his realm. Chief Minister Shinde welcomed the proposal, and he suggested installing a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in London as well.
The meeting between the Lord Mayor of London and the Maharashtra CM covered various topics including artificial intelligence, environmental concerns such as clean air, and information technology. Both parties expressed interest in collaborating under the theme of ‘Connecting to Prosperity.’ Following the meeting, Lord Mayor Mainelli expressed his enthusiasm for the visit and discussions held with CM Shinde. He highlighted the potential for cooperation between London and Maharashtra in various areas, ranging from AI to broader economic prosperity.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s legacy extends beyond his military prowess; he is recognized for his contributions to governance and administration, particularly in establishing an effective administrative structure within his territories. The proposal to name an AI centre after Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj comes in the wake of global discussions on artificial intelligence. The UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak previously organized the world’s first AI Safety Summit in November. India was represented at the summit by Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
At the AI Safety Summit, Minister Chandrasekhar emphasized the need for international cooperation in establishing ethical guidelines for AI development. He called for a consensus among nations to define boundaries and ensure accountability in the realm of artificial intelligence.
