Glad to see the focus on ethics and data security. It's crucial as AI becomes more powerful. Hope the 'indigenous technology' push means more support for Indian startups and not just the big corporates who were in the meeting.

Self-sufficiency in AI is a must for national security and economic growth. Good to see the government taking it seriously. The involvement of top IITs and IIIT is key for the talent pipeline. Jai Hind!

As someone working in tech, the emphasis on an "AI ecosystem which is transparent, impartial and secure" is refreshing. India's scale and digital public infrastructure (like UPI) gives it a unique advantage to build responsible AI that can be a global model.

All good points, but execution is everything. We've heard "skilling" missions before. Hope this translates into quality, accessible AI education in regional languages and in smaller towns, not just elite institutes. The real 'democratisation' will be tested there.

Very inspiring! India's diversity is indeed its strength for training robust AI models. If we can lead in ethical AI that respects our values, it will be a bigger achievement than just technical prowess. Looking forward to the summit outcomes!
