When the world speaks about artificial intelligence today, it often does so in the language of power, speed and scale. In February 2026, however, a different voice will rise from New Delhi. One that speaks of truth, humanity and shared destiny.

Taking place on 16 and 20 February 2026, the India AI Impact Summit will bring together global leaders, policymakers, technologists, scientists and social innovators for what will be the first global AI summit ever hosted in the Global South. The Summit arrives at a defining moment when the future of intelligence is being shaped, not just in laboratories and boardrooms, but in societies, economies and governments across the world.

What is at stake is not simply how powerful artificial intelligence becomes, but who it is ultimately built to serve.

India is stepping forward not as a competitor in an AI arms race, but as a custodian of global conscience. In a world marked by widening digital divides, data monopolies and algorithmic inequality, the India AI Impact Summit places Satyamev Jayate at the heart of the AI era. Truth must prevail, and technology must serve it.

Why This Summit Matters To The World

Over the past four years, the world has produced a growing body of AI declarations, principles and frameworks, including G20 AI Principles, United Nations resolutions, GPAI, the Hamburg Declaration and regional initiatives across Africa and beyond. Yet for billions of people across the Global South, artificial intelligence remains distant, inaccessible and misaligned with local realities.

The India AI Impact Summit is designed to change that.

It is where ambition meets execution.
Where political commitments translate into delivery.
Where emerging economies help shape the rules rather than merely follow them.

By convening governments, industry and civil society, India is calling the world to move beyond promises and towards measurable, inclusive impact.

The Three Sutras Guiding The Future Of AI

At the heart of the Summit are three Sutras drawn from India’s civilisational philosophy and applied to modern technology.

People
Artificial intelligence must be human centred. It must respect dignity, diversity and cultural identity, and it must expand opportunity rather than concentrate power.

Planet
Artificial intelligence must be responsible. Its energy use, data practices and computing footprint must support sustainability and climate resilience rather than undermine them.

Progress
Artificial intelligence must be inclusive. Its benefits must flow to every nation and every community, accelerating development across healthcare, education, agriculture and governance.

Together, these Sutras redefine AI not as a corporate or geopolitical tool, but as a global public good.

The Seven Chakras Driving Global Cooperation

To turn philosophy into action, the Summit is structured around seven Chakras that guide international collaboration.

Human Capital
Inclusion for Social Empowerment
Safe and Trusted AI
Resilience Innovation and Efficiency
Science
Democratizing AI Resources
Economic Growth and Social Good

Each Chakra represents a pillar of a future where AI does not divide the world into creators and consumers, but builds a shared ecosystem of capability, accountability and trust.

A Summit Of Global Firsts

The India AI Impact Summit marks several global firsts. It is the first time the Global South hosts the world’s defining AI summit. It is the first time India positions itself as both a moral and strategic anchor for responsible AI. It is also the first time multilateral AI governance moves decisively from principles to implementation.

From ministers and policy architects to scientists, entrepreneurs and civil society leaders, the world’s most influential voices will gather in New Delhi to design a future that works for everyone.

Why You Should Be There

If you are building AI.
If you are deploying AI.
If you are governing AI.
If you are being affected by AI.

This is where the future is being written.

The India AI Impact Summit is not about observing history. It is about shaping it.
