India AI Impact Summit

The India AI Impact Summit — the first global AI summit to be hosted in the Global South — aims to reflect on the transformative potential of AI aligning with the national vision of “Sarvajana Hitaya, Sarvajana Sukhaya" (welfare for all, happiness for all) and the global principle of AI for Humanity.

Talking about the summit, Prime Minister Modi spoke about the growing impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the IT industry and the government’s strategy to strengthen the sector.

“India’s IT sector has been the backbone of our services exports and a key driver of economic growth. AI presents both a tremendous opportunity and a challenge for this sector. AI market projections show India’s IT sector could reach $400 billion by 2030, driven by new waves of AI-enabled outsourcing and domain-specific automation," he said.

The Summit will have participation of more than 110 countries, 30 International organizations, including about 20 HoS/HoG level participation, about 45 Ministers.
