While the summit's goals are noble, I hope the discussions translate into actionable policies that protect jobs and prevent bias. "AI for Humanity" sounds great, but we need strong frameworks to ensure it doesn't widen the digital divide in practice.

The three Sutras - People, Planet, Progress - are a brilliant framework. It's high time the Global South led this conversation. Our perspective on inclusive growth and sustainable development is exactly what the global AI discourse needs. Jai Hind!
