PM inaugurates 5-day summit; Vaishnaw says India in talks with over 30 countries for a pact to curb AI misuse
Bharat Mandapam, the 125-acre prime convention arena in New Delhi, transformed into the most sought-after address as the AI Impact Summit 2026 kicked off in New Delhi on Monday.
The Day One of the fourth edition of the artificial intelligence summit centred around the Global South witnessed heads of states, industry captains, celebrities and thought leaders converging here to witness India's seat on the AI high-table.
The highlight of the day was the inauguration of the AI Impact Expo by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the evening, even as thousands of visitors made their way to the destination hours earlier to check out the various aspects of AI, which promises to be a gamechanger.
This is the biggest congregation of world leaders in India, after the G20 Summit in September 2023, turning the capital city into a fortress amid intense security drills all across.
The next four days, as the summit progresses, could lead to many marquee agreements and business deals, positioning India in a new pecking order.
