Describing the sprawling ‘AI Impact Summit 2026’ as artificial intelligence’s ‘Mahakumbh,’ Union Minister of State Jitin Prasada celebrated it as a cornerstone of India’s digital revolution. Spanning five days in New Delhi, the event’s vast attendance underscores its historic significance.
Keynoting ‘From AI User to Creator,’ Prasada exhorted entrepreneurs to pioneer AI-driven fixes that advance self-reliance and global stature. This platform demands builders, not bystanders.
Under PM Modi’s direction, India’s role has elevated from AI consumer to innovator, propelled by tech-trade synergy in economic expansion. Prasada highlighted these drivers with optimism.
Governments ignoring tech’s pace will falter globally, he warned. Nurturing India’s talent reservoir hinges on perpetual tech assimilation.
Reposition AI as a skilling powerhouse for youth, not textbook fare, Prasada urged, advocating bespoke applications for varied locales and fields beyond LLM fixation.
Global South craves pragmatic AI for tangible life and business ease, not debates. Tech equity across demographics is essential.
With data as AI’s powerhouse fuel, quality provisioning efforts aim for profound impacts, Prasada stated. The expo expects over 2.5 lakh global attendees, breeding alliances and ventures.
India’s AI odyssey gains momentum, promising inclusive growth through such visionary forums.
