Musk is currently leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is focused on reducing government spending and the size of the federal workforce. He is also seen as one of the most influential figures in the Donald Trump administration.

Following the conversation on Friday, Modi also posted about the call on X. "Spoke to @elonmusk and talked about various issues, including the topics we covered during our meeting in Washington DC earlier this year. We discussed the immense potential for collaboration in the areas of technology and innovation."

"India remains committed to advancing our partnerships with the US in these domains," he added.

Why Moody's is warning banks not to become too dependent on AI giants

  • More than 75 per cent of City firms already use AI, according to a UK Treasury select committee report.
  • Moody's warns that an outage at one major AI provider could potentially affect banks and other sectors at the same time.
  • Banks could also face higher AI costs, data risks and faster movement of customer deposits between accounts.

Banks are rushing to bring artificial intelligence into everything from customer service to credit decisions, but Moody's is warning that the technology could create a new weakness for the financial system: too much dependence on too few technology companies.

The rating agency says the growing use of AI by banks and insurers could eventually reduce costs and increase revenues. But as financial firms adopt similar systems, they are also becoming increasingly reliant on a relatively small group of companies providing AI models and cloud computing infrastructure.
