India will host the India–AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi from February 16–20, 2026. The Summit is anchored in three Sutras: People, Planet, and Progress, which define India’s approach to cooperation on AI. It will bring together global leaders, policymakers, innovators, and experts from around the world to deliberate on the way forward for AI.
At the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, heads of 20 nations and ministerial delegations from over 45 countries will be participating in the Summit. The UN Secretary-General and senior officials from several international organizations will also join the deliberations.
The Summit, hosted at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is being positioned as the first major global AI gathering in the Global South.
It comes at a time when global AI ecosystems are undergoing significant shifts. While large language models have shown rapid progress, policymakers and experts have increasingly highlighted the need for stronger data governance, diversified AI architectures, and sector-specific deployment.
