Modi Goes All-In on AI
On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi kicked off the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, bringing together global leaders to map out where artificial intelligence is headed. The event saw a massive commitment from Mukesh Ambani, who pledged ₹10 lakh crore to bolster India’s infrastructure, signaling a huge bet on the country’s tech future.
It wasn’t all high-level policy and big checks, though; the summit had its fair share of drama. A robot exhibit from a local university sparked a bit of a controversy, and the tense rivalry between some of the top AI CEOs reportedly spilled over into the discussions, adding an unexpected edge to the prestigious gathering.
