As someone working in tech, it's encouraging to see India hosting such a major summit. The focus on 'AI for Humanity' is crucial. We need to ensure these advancements benefit everyone, not just create more digital divides.

Good step, but the real test is on-ground implementation. We have brilliant IITians and engineers, but they often leave for better opportunities abroad. Will this partnership create high-quality jobs and research facilities that retain our talent? That's the question.

Respectfully, while summits and meetings are important, I hope the focus remains on building a strong, open, and ethical AI ecosystem. We've seen issues with bias in AI systems. India's diverse population is the perfect testing ground to build fair and inclusive AI.
