Washington, Dec 7 (LatestNewsX) – New Delhi is preparing to host its AI Impact Summit, an event expected to draw representatives from 100 countries to discuss fair and inclusive AI governance, Ambassador Vinay Kwatra told senior U.S. officials and technology executives. He framed the summit as a pivotal moment in India’s emerging global tech diplomacy.
Kwatra addressed a pre‑summit meeting this week in Washington organized by ITI, the global tech trade association, together with the India AI Mission and the Indian Embassy. The gathering provided a forum for U.S. and Indian officials to lay out their expectations for the Delhi conference, which India presents as a key step toward achieving worldwide consensus on responsible AI practices.
The ambassador highlighted that the summit is built around the principles of “People, Planet, and Progress,” underscoring India’s aim to use AI as a tool for inclusive development. “We are bringing together governments and leading experts from 100 countries to shape actionable recommendations that ensure AI does not deepen global divides but delivers measurable, inclusive impact for all,” he said.
Addressing American industry leaders, Kwatra described the Delhi gathering as an excellent opening for collaboration. “For American companies, this Summit represents an important opportunity to co‑create the future of open, safe, and equitable AI alongside India’s unmatched scale, talent, and innovation ecosystem—a partnership that will define responsible leadership in the AI era,” he added.
U.S. Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg likewise stressed the importance of bolstering ties with India as AI policy evolves. “The United States is the world’s largest economy, and India is the world’s most populous country. There are no limits to what America and India can achieve together,” he said. He described the two nations as “complementary partners” working “to secure and grow the AI economy,” noting that shared democratic values are opening “new terrain for joint ventures across critical technology sectors.” Helberg said this juncture offers a chance to “write a new chapter in the history of human progress” and expressed eagerness for further discussions with Indian officials at the upcoming AI Action Summit.
Jason Oxman, President and CEO of ITI, said the industry views the Delhi summit as a pivotal global convening. “To realize its fullest economic and societal benefit, AI policy requires strong international partnerships and global alignment,” he said. Oxman added that ITI and its member companies “are at the forefront of both AI’s development and global policies.” He emphasized that this engagement with Indian officials “cements the tech industry’s critical role.”
On social media, ITI described the Washington conversations as a “robust” exchange on how AI can boost economic growth and strengthen technological leadership. Kwatra posted separately that the Delhi summit “will bring together govts & top experts from across the globe to shape inclusive, responsible AI that benefits all,” calling it a “unique chance to co‑create the future of open, safe & equitable AI along with India’s scale, talent & innovation.”
India has steadily broadened its outreach on technology governance, building on experience leading global dialogues during its G20 presidency. New Delhi stresses that AI frameworks must prioritize development, access, and equity—an approach that resonates widely across the Global South.
