Highlighting India's emergence as a global powerhouse in artificial intelligence, Alexandr Wang, Chief AI Officer of Meta.

Speaking at the ‘Governing in the Age of AI: Sovereignty, Impact and Strategy’ event in the national capital, Wang shared insights from his interactions with local entrepreneurs, noting that India is currently outperforming traditional tech hubs in specific AI sectors.

"I think India is a very positive case study, in large part due to the talent pool. I was at a dinner with a number of Indian founders and venture capitalists last night, and the statistic was that there are more consumer AI startups in India than in the United States," Wang said.
