On the sidelines of the summit, which is expected to attract more than 2.5 lakh visitors, Rakesh Kumar spoke to S Krishnan, secretary, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). During the interaction, he emphasised that the core purpose of the event is to democratise AI and make it accessible to all sections of the society, while noting that the summit is not primarily focused on investments.
