Center of Policy Research and Governance Director & Co-Founder Dr Ramanand on Friday said that India successfully organised and hosted AI Impact Summit 2026, and it was a resounding success thanks to the level of participation.
Speaking to ANI, CPRG Director Dr Ramanand says that India successfully organised and hosted the AI Summit, and it was a resounding success thanks to the level of participation. This participation went beyond mere numbers; people from different countries, societies, and generations came together to engage in meaningful dialogue.
"The summit reinforced the belief that technology is for everyone. It sent a strong message to the world: anyone, regardless of background, can adopt and benefit from technology..," he told ANI
The CPRG Director further told ANI that the most important thing about the AI Summit 2026 is India's platform, almost every country in the world that talks about AI, whether a large or small country, brought their messages. Secondly, India provided a model with very limited resources, apps and tools that can be developed that are beneficial to everyone. India also sent the message that even with limited resources, technologies can be developed that benefit humanity.
"This AI summit has established India as a major technological power in the world and has represented the Global South and explained why technology should be available to countries facing a lack of resources," he added
Dr Ramanand further told ANI that the technology India is developing is not for the Global North but for the Global South, benefiting countries with fewer resources. The people of India will directly benefit from AI. Whether it's the employment sector, technology, or the country's vision of a developed India in 2047, AI will play a crucial role.
