Accenture CEO Julie Sweet on Thursday said that the 'AI Impact Summit 2026' in India has successfully conveyed the importance of inclusive growth as well as inclusive AI.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the Summit here, she said it "has been a great recognition of the importance of countries coming together, private sector and the public sector, and it's really been a great testimony to the importance of India as well."

At the 'India AI Impact Summit 2026', the government announced the New Delhi Frontier AI Impact Commitments, a landmark outcome of the summit that brings together leading frontier AI companies and India's domestic innovators to advance inclusive and responsible artificial intelligence.

"One of the themes of the summit has been the importance of inclusive growth and inclusive AI, and I think the fact that there are so many people here from around the world," shows the importance of the country," Sweet noted.

The Summit witnessed a global meet of world leaders and Big Tech CEOs centred around the high-level opening ceremony of the Summit at Bharat Mandapam, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The ceremony set the tone for the Summit's focus on responsible innovation, scientific advancement, and international collaboration in shaping the future of Artificial Intelligence.

According to an official statement, the participation of global political leaders, multilateral institutions, and technology pioneers at the Summit inaugural session underscored the Summit's stature as a defining platform for shaping the trajectory of Artificial Intelligence in an increasingly interconnected and rapidly evolving world.

N. Chandrasekaran, Chairman of Tata Sons, described AI as the next foundational infrastructure, with transformative potential comparable to steam engines, electricity, and the internet.

He highlighted India's digital public infrastructure achievements and positioned AI as a strategic national capability built across the full stack, from chips and systems to energy and applications.

Mr. Chandrasekaran's comparison of AI to foundational infrastructure like electricity is spot on. If we get this right, it can be a massive equalizer. The focus on the full stack, from chips to apps, shows we're thinking long-term. Jai Hind!

While summits and commitments are good, the real test is on the ground. We need to ensure "inclusive AI" isn't just a buzzword. How will this help a farmer in MP or a small shopkeeper in Kerala? The proof will be in the implementation.

Attending from the US, it's impressive to see India's ambition. The scale of India's digital public infrastructure (like UPI) is a perfect foundation for responsible AI deployment. The world has a lot to learn from this model of public-private partnership.

Hosting such a global summit at Bharat Mandapam is a proud moment. It shows our soft power in the tech world. The key now is to build our own talent and not just be consumers of foreign AI tech. Make in India for AI!

Inclusive AI must include women in its creation and address our specific challenges. Hope the commitments made here have clear goals for gender diversity in AI teams and datasets that aren't biased. A step in the right direction! 🙌
