India is hosting the flagship AI Impact Summit this week in the capital city of New Delhi. The five-day event, with over 35,000 registrations from more than 100 countries, is expected to see participation from heads of government, ministers, top tech and AI company CEOs, policymakers, civil society groups and many others from around the globe. The buzz is so high with so many high-profile visits that some of the luxury hotel prices in the city center have shot up to over $20,000 a night.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed global leaders on Monday, sharing his enthusiasm about bringing the world together to discuss AI. “The AI Impact Summit will enrich global discourse on diverse aspects of AI, such as innovation, collaboration, responsible use and more,” Modi posted on X.
