Strong ties with UAE are crucial. They are major investors and partners. Collaborating on AI can bring huge benefits for both economies, especially in sectors like logistics and smart cities. Good diplomatic move.

Hope the focus on 'People, Planet, Progress' is real and not just slogans. We need AI that creates jobs in India, not takes them away. The summit must address the threat of automation for our vast workforce.

As someone working in tech, it's exciting to see India take center stage in the AI conversation. The Global South perspective is essential. The principles sound great, but implementation and regulation will be the real test.

While summits are good for image, I hope the outcomes trickle down. Can AI developed here help our farmers with better weather predictions or our doctors in rural clinics? That should be the real measure of success.
