"The fourth intergovernmental AI summit, hosted by India's prime minister, Narendra Modi, follows editions in the UK, Korea and France and is focusing on harnessing AI to the benefit of countries in the global south, for example by embracing more regional languages and applying AI to improving agriculture and public health.

The summit also prioritizes improving safety standards amid concerns that current measures may not address catastrophic AI risks.
