New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday hailed the India AI Impact Expo 2026 as a significant platform showcasing India’s growing capabilities in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its intent to shape global AI governance and innovation.
Sharing highlights from the inauguration, the Prime Minister said the Expo demonstrated the “extraordinary potential of Indian talent in shaping the future of Artificial Intelligence for global good.” He emphasised that the event reaffirmed India’s commitment to deploying AI responsibly, inclusively and at scale to drive human progress.
In a post on X, Modi described the Expo as a “powerful convergence of ideas, innovation and intent,” indicating the government’s push to position India as a leading AI innovation hub while balancing ethical considerations.
The event comes at a time when India is accelerating its AI strategy through policy initiatives, public-private partnerships and investments in digital public infrastructure. With global debates intensifying around AI regulation, data governance and ethical safeguards, the Prime Minister’s remarks signal a calibrated approach — promoting rapid adoption while ensuring responsible deployment.
The Expo serves as a bridge between policymakers, startups, academia and large enterprises, highlighting India’s ambition to build scalable AI solutions across sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, education, manufacturing and governance.
The emphasis on “AI for global good” aligns with India’s broader diplomatic positioning on emerging technologies, where it has advocated inclusive access and equitable innovation frameworks, particularly for the Global South.
As AI adoption deepens across economies, India’s strategy appears focused on leveraging its vast digital ecosystem, skilled workforce and growing startup base to create indigenous AI solutions with global applicability.
The India AI Impact Expo 2026 is expected to catalyse collaborations and accelerate deployment of AI-driven solutions, reinforcing the country’s ambition to become a major force in the global AI landscape.
