"reinforcing India's commitment to building a trustworthy and human-centric AI ecosystem - Ministry of Electronics and IT"

New Delhi, February 15

As India prepares to inaugurate the India AI Impact Summit 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India, under the IndiaAI Mission, in collaboration with Intel India, will launch "Most pledges received for an AI Responsibility campaign in 24 hours" a nationwide campaign beginning February 16 February.

The initiative will attempt an official Guiness Record title for the "Most pledges received for an AI responsibility campaign in 24 hours." The campaign seeks to mobilise citizens across the country to commit to the ethical, inclusive, and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence, reinforcing India's commitment to building a trustworthy and human-centric AI ecosystem.

Designed as an interactive and awareness-driven experience, the initiative includes scenario-based questions that encourage participants to reflect on responsible AI practices before taking the formal pledge. Upon completion, participants will receive a digital honorary badge issued jointly by IndiaAI and Intel India, along with access to curated government-led AI learning pathways.

The campaign has been structured to ensure accessibility and ease of participation across regions and demographics. It does not require a microphone or camera access, and there are no qualifying marks or eligibility barriers.

Participants can take part by visiting the official pledge portal and completing a simple registration process, followed by a verification process of the participant via OTP (Email ID or Phone Number). Then, the participant will engage with short scenario-based awareness questions before finally submitting the formal AI Responsibility Pledge.

The initiative encourages participation from students, educators, parents and guardians, government officials, public sector representatives, industry professionals, startups, and citizens from diverse backgrounds. With a strong emphasis on youth engagement, the campaign aims to foster awareness around responsible AI usage, data privacy, accountability, and combating misinformation.

The AI Responsibility Pledge campaign forms a key citizen-engagement pillar of the India AI Impact Summit 2026, scheduled from February 16-20 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi.

The Summit will be inaugurated by the Prime Minister and will convene Heads of State, global leaders, policymakers, industry experts, researchers, startups, academia, and civil society under the guiding pillars of People, Planet and Progress to deliberate on leveraging AI for inclusive and development-oriented outcomes.

Responsible AI is the need of the hour, especially with so much misinformation spreading. Glad the government is taking steps, but I hope the "scenario-based questions" are practical and not just theoretical. The focus on accessibility (no mic/camera needed) is good for wider reach.

Another record attempt? Feels a bit gimmicky. While the cause is important, I'd rather see concrete policy and stricter regulations on AI misuse by companies first. A pledge is good for awareness, but real change needs enforcement. Just my two cents.

As an educator, I'm thrilled to see the emphasis on students and parents. We need to build this understanding from the ground up. Will definitely encourage my students to participate and discuss the scenarios in class. The learning pathways could be a great resource.

Jai Hind! A proud moment for Indian tech leadership. Partnering with Intel shows global collaboration. The summit with heads of state is a big deal. Let's all take the pledge and show the world India's commitment to ethical technology. Where is the portal link?

Hope the campaign is available in multiple Indian languages and is easy for my parents' generation to understand. AI is not just for techies anymore. The OTP verification is standard, but hope data privacy is strictly maintained as they preach!
