China and India have considerable scope for cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), as their AI capabilities are complementary in many respects, a senior Indian investor told the Global Times in an exclusive interview.
There is considerable scope for AI cooperation in areas that address common global challenges, including healthcare, education, agriculture, climate resilience, industrial productivity and scientific research, always within the policy frameworks established by the respective governments and international perspectives on responsible and secure AI, Mahendra Swarup, founder of VG Capital and former president of the Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association, told the Global Times on Wednesday.
AI is likely to become one of the defining technologies of this century. India's strengths lie in software development, engineering talent, digital public infrastructure and entrepreneurial innovation. China has developed significant capabilities in AI applications, hardware, manufacturing and large-scale deployment. "These capabilities are complementary in many respects," Swarup said.
The veteran on the front line of India's venture capital investment sector made the remarks amid improving bilateral ties and a certain level of liberalization of Chinese investments in India.
Chinese investors have historically contributed to the growth of several successful Indian companies, especially start-ups. While investment activity has been moderated by regulatory developments over the past few years, there has always been underlying interest in the Indian market because of its long-term fundamentals, Swarup said.
"If the recent improvement in bilateral relations leads to greater regulatory clarity and business confidence, the Chinese investors will once again evaluate opportunities in India, although the general sentiment is one of cautious optimism," said Swarup.
Amid positive momentum in bilateral relations, Swarup noted rising opportunities for entrepreneurs from the two countries to engage in practical cooperation.
There are several areas where entrepreneurs from India and China could potentially complement each other's strengths, subject to the regulatory frameworks of different sectors in both countries, the investor said, highlighting areas including healthcare technologies, clean energy, electric mobility, advanced manufacturing, climate technologies, industrial automation, logistics and supply-chain innovation.

"In whichever sector the complementary strengths of both China and India can be brought together responsibly, they can create value not only for both countries but also for global markets," said Swarup.
India has recently shown signs of easing some long-standing restrictions on trade and investment with China, with Chinese experts saying that the move reflects the country's growing recognition of China's importance to its economic development, and a desire to create a more favorable environment for improving bilateral ties.
There has been a gradual policy adjustment, including easing restrictions on foreign direct investment (FDI) in e-commerce, allowing FDI from companies with Chinese ownership, The Hindu reported on August 1.
With India set to host a BRICS summit this year, Swarup also said that Indian and Chinese companies can work together to promote the interests of developing countries.
India and China are both major economies with significant experience in addressing the challenges of development at scale. Although each country has followed its own development path, there are areas where companies from both nations can contribute meaningfully to broader development across Asia, Africa and other emerging markets, Swarup noted.
There is considerable potential for collaboration in affordable healthcare, digital financial inclusion, renewable energy, agricultural technologies, education technology, infrastructure, supply-chain development and support for small and medium-sized enterprises. These are areas where scalable and affordable solutions can have a significant impact on improving livelihoods, the veteran said.
Partnerships that combine technology, entrepreneurship and long-term investment can help create solutions that are both commercially sustainable and socially impactful. "As two of the largest economies in the Global South, India and China have the opportunity to contribute positively to sustainable development through innovation, responsible investment and constructive commercial engagement," Swarup said.

《绝命毒师》最经典的一集将于下个月在影院上映。《绝命毒师》第四季大结局《面对面》(Face Off)将于9月7日在阿拉莫德拉夫豪斯(Alamo Drafthouse)影院上映。此次放映旨在庆祝“绝命毒师日”,即沃尔特·怀特的生日。这将是阿拉莫德拉夫豪斯影院独家举办的单晚特别活动,影迷只需购买10美元的餐饮代金券即可参加。到场者将获赠海森堡帽子、蓝色水晶糖、赫克托的铃铛以及盖斯·弗林的半张脸面具。对于那些不记得第四季结局(或还没看过)的人来说,这一集讲述了沃尔特和杰西最终试图打败他们的老板兼宿敌盖斯·弗林。这是一场极其紧张的对决,伴随着爆炸性的结局,造就了电视史上最令人难忘和标志性的时刻之一。在电视上看这一幕已经很刺激了,但对于《绝命毒师》的铁杆粉丝来说,在大银幕上见证这一刻将更加令人心潮澎湃。不过,这并不是《绝命毒师》系列第一次登上大银幕。讲述杰西·平克曼逃离新纳粹后经历的续集电影《续命之徒》在 Netflix 首映的同时也曾进行过短暂的院线放映。遗憾的是,我们不太可能再看到另一部《绝命毒师》电影,甚至该世界观下的电视剧了。系列创作者文斯·吉里根已经转而开发新的 Apple TV 系列剧集《Pluribus》,并与《风骚律师》的演员蕾亚·塞洪再度合作。吉里根曾一度提议制作一款类似于 GTA6 的《绝命毒师》游戏,但遗憾的是未能推进。演员鲍勃·奥登科克也表示,只有在设定监狱背景的情况下才可能拍摄索尔·古德曼的后续影视作品,因为他不认为古德曼能获得自由。
