India Steps Up: A Turning Point for Global AI

In New Delhi, as the India AI Impact Summit 2026 opens, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not merely launching a technical conference; he is signing the birth certificate of a new digital diplomacy. For the first time, a nation of the "Global South" is setting the agenda for artificial intelligence.

From February 16 to 20, at Bharat Mandapam, the focus is on the concrete, the planet, and progress. Between handshakes with Emmanuel Macron and Lula, tech giants like Sundar Pichai and Sam Altman rub shoulders with experts in agriculture and healthcare. The stake? Transforming AI into a lever of inclusion for emerging countries.

With 68 billion dollars pledged by 2030 from leaders such as Microsoft and Alphabet ("Google"), India is converting its momentum. It no longer wants to be a mere talent pool, but the nerve center of tomorrow''s infrastructure.

This summit marks a turning point. The future of technology is no longer decided solely in Silicon Valley, but also under the sun of Delhi, with a resolutely human and solidarity-driven vision.
