Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Spanish counterpart Pedro Sánchez on Wednesday underscored the need for cooperation to harness artificial intelligence (AI) for inclusive development, against the backdrop of strong European participation in the AI Impact Summit being hosted by India.

Eleven European countries, including France, the Netherlands, Spain, Estonia, and Switzerland, are being represented by heads of state or government at the AI Impact Summit. A total of 26 European countries are participating in the summit, including 12 at the ministerial level. People familiar with the matter highlighted the importance of this participation in view of Europe’s role as a hub of digital governance and responsible AI frameworks, and the European Union (EU)’s contributions to global norms for AI.
