India is set to become a full member of the United States-led strategic group Pax Silica, with a formal invitation expected in February, the US' ambassador to India Sergio Gor said on Monday during his visit to capital New Delhi. Pax Silica, a programme initiated by the US State Department, is mainly focused on AI and supply chain security. The grouping covers all steps in the technology supply chain, from energy and critical minerals to high-tech manufacturing and AI models. A key goal of Pax Silica is to reduce coercive dependencies. The Pax Silica Declaration reads: "We recognize that the technological revolution in AI is accelerating, increasingly reorganizing the world economy, and reshaping global supply chains."
