Good to see India strengthening ties with Greece. These civilisational links are important. But I hope such summits lead to real action on the ground, like creating more AI jobs for our youth and solving local problems.

"AI for Humanity" and "Sarvajana Hitaya" sound great. But the real test is affordability and access. Will this tech reach our farmers and small shopkeepers? Or will it remain in fancy conferences? Need practical outcomes.

As someone working in tech, it's impressive to see India take the lead in AI governance from the Global South. The scale of participation (110 countries!) is a diplomatic win. Hope it translates into ethical AI frameworks we can all use.

While the summit is good for image, I respectfully question the costs involved. Could these funds be better used to improve our own digital infrastructure first? Many villages still lack basic internet. Let's fix our house first.

The environmental pillar is crucial! AI data centres consume so much power and water. Glad it's on the agenda. India should lead in developing green AI solutions. Jai Hind! 🌿
