Hosting a global AI summit in the Global South, especially India, is a significant step. The focus on 'People, Planet, and Progress' as core principles is commendable. International collaboration on AI governance is crucial. Hope the discussions lead to tangible frameworks.

Good to see our leaders focusing on AI. But I hope this isn't just another photo-op and signing ceremony. We need concrete plans for implementation. How will quantum skill development in Andhra actually translate to opportunities for ordinary engineering graduates? The proof will be in the pudding.

"Sarvajana Hitaya, Sarvajana Sukhaya" – this should be the true north for all AI development. If the summit can keep this Indian ethos at its heart while engaging with global players, it will be a real achievement. The meeting with UK delegation and CEOs is promising for investments.

Bharat Mandapam is becoming the go-to venue for India's global engagements! From G20 to now this AI summit. Proud moment. Hope the discussions on 'Competitiveness through AI' with Vaishnaw ji and WEF CEO lead to policies that help our startups compete globally.

The scale is impressive – 110 countries and 45 ministers. Having leaders like Naidu and Himanta Biswa Sarma on the same plenary shows a collaborative federal approach. AI for economic growth is the right focus for a developing economy like India.
