A wave of excitement is sweeping through international tech circles ahead of the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi. Scheduled at Bharat Mandapam from February 16-20, this summit breaks new ground as the inaugural AI event in the Global South. Leading the hype is Rory Daniels, Managing Director at the Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI).
Daniels shared her eagerness in a compelling video circulated by the Indian Embassy in America. She detailed ASPI’s collaboration with the UN on sessions focused on building trust and safety within AI ecosystems. ‘We’re particularly excited to explore how India’s evolving AI policies could serve as a blueprint for Asia’s emerging markets,’ Daniels noted, eagerly awaiting the summit’s impactful results.
With Prime Minister Narendra Modi set to kick off proceedings, the five-day extravaganza will convene world leaders, industry titans, and innovators. The agenda spotlights AI’s role in accelerating India’s development trajectory, enhancing governance, and revolutionizing public services. India’s linguistic and cultural diversity positions it uniquely to pioneer multi-language, multi-model AI solutions.
Building on major international AI forums, the summit will bridge rhetoric with reality, integrating insights into India’s flagship programs like IndiaAI Mission and Digital India. Expect robust dialogues on governance, innovation, and sustainable growth, all aimed at crafting equitable AI frameworks that prioritize human needs and global collaboration.
