AI is a transformative power. If directionless, it becomes a disruption; if the right direction is found, it becomes a solution, he said, adding the summit was focused on "how to make AI from machine-centric to human-centric; how to make it sensitive and responsive?""
"The first such gathering, titled the "AI Safety Summit," was held at Bletchley Park near London in November 2023, centred on existential risks. South Korea hosted the 2024 summit with a similar focus on safety. In 2025, Paris hosted the "AI Action Summit," focusing on governance and coordination among advanced economies. India's rendition, titled the "AI Impact Summit" emphasized "inclusive growth" and a "sustainable future.""
India hosted tens of thousands of delegates, including global AI leaders, startup founders, and heads of state, for an AI Impact Summit that highlighted inclusive growth and sustainable futures. Prime Minister Narendra Modi framed AI as a transformative, potentially disruptive force that must become human-centric, sensitive and responsive. India positioned itself as the first developing country to host a global AI summit and sought to amplify Global South perspectives on AI impacts and deployment terms, while showcasing domestic startups. The summit contrasted with prior gatherings focused on existential risk or governance among advanced economies, reflecting a distinct emphasis on development and inclusion.
