He also outlined India's approach to artificial intelligence, sharing the country's perspective on "democratisation of AI" around people, planet and progress with the participating audience.

The discussion focused on advancing global dialogue on AI, with India underscoring impact-led innovation and inclusive growth as key pillars of its engagement ahead of the summit.

All these developments stem from engagements held on January 31, during which Kwatra also detailed India's people-first approach to artificial intelligence and the structure of the upcoming AI Impact Summit, noting that it is built around three core pillars focused on people, planet and progress.
