What Is the AI Impact Summit 2026?
The AI Impact Summit 2026 is the fourth edition of this global summit series. The first edition was held in the United Kingdom, followed by events in Seoul and Paris. This marks the first time the summit is being hosted in the Global South. There is no permanent group of member countries; instead, the host nation invites participating countries.
The summit has three primary objectives:
- Empower people and promote innovation using AI
- Position India as a global provider of AI services
- Democratize access to computing power, datasets, and algorithms
The event is being held at Bharat Mandapam. The AI Impact Expo is located in the Exhibition Hall, while plenary sessions and panel discussions will take place at the Convention Centre and Sushma Swaraj Bhavan.
The agenda is tentative and subject to change. Livestream links for all sessions will be available on the official IndiaAI website.
