United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has said India is the right place to host the first-ever AI Summit in the global south. While speaking to the agency, ahead of the AI Impact Summit 2026, starting today, Guterres said artificial intelligence must serve the entire world and not just serve a handful of powerful nations.
Meanwhile, the British government has said that the UK’s focus during the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi will be on championing how artificial intelligence can supercharge growth, unlock new jobs, improve public services and deliver benefits for people around the globe.
The UK delegation, led by Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy and AI Minister Kanishka Narayan, is keen to highlight how AI can improve everyday life in every corner of the world and make the case for AI as an engine of renewal that can help doctors diagnose faster, teachers personalise learning, councils deliver services in minutes and businesses create the next generation of good jobs.
