The organisers noted that the Chief Minister's governance experience and policy direction in fostering AI ecosystems through land allocation, power infrastructure, skill development, regulatory frameworks, and investment partnerships would provide valuable practical insights to global policymakers and industry leaders.

The AI Policy Symposium aims to bring together senior leaders from the government, industry, and academia to deliberate on AI governance, geopolitical competition, enabling infrastructure, and cross-sector collaboration.

While the invitation is prestigious, I hope the focus remains on ground realities. We need AI policies that create jobs for our youth in Tier 2 & 3 cities, not just fancy projects in Hyderabad. The "workforce pathways" discussion is crucial.

Harvard Kennedy School! That's huge. It shows the world is watching India's digital public infrastructure and tech governance models. Telangana has been aggressive with its policies. Hope other Indian states learn and replicate.

Interesting to see sub-national leaders being invited to such global forums. The "AI as Infrastructure" angle is smart. India's scale makes it a perfect testbed. Curious to hear about the energy systems part—AI compute needs massive power.

Good step, but I hope the talk goes beyond just infrastructure. We need strong ethical frameworks and data privacy laws alongside these AI cities. The "responsible AI expansion" bit is key. Let's lead in governance too, not just construction.

As someone from the tech sector in Hyderabad, this is well-deserved. The state government has created a real ecosystem here. From startups to global MNCs, the focus on tech is evident. Hope this brings more investment and talent to our city!
