Look out for the "AI for Social Good" seminar focusing on tech that actually helps people.
The summit's guiding principles and themes
Everything centers around People, Planet, and Progress—think sessions on ethical AI use, data protection, jobs of the future, skilling up for tech careers, and making sure AI helps everyone sustainably.
PM Modi will give an opening address; there'll also be CEO roundtables and big policy meetings to shape global cooperation.
Why this summit matters so much
This summit isn't just about flashy tech—it's about making sure AI benefits everyone worldwide.
With ministerial delegations from over 45 countries and UN officials teaming up in Delhi this week, decisions made here could shape how we all use (and are protected by) AI in the future.
