The India AI Impact Summit ended with a non-binding declaration endorsed by 88 countries and international organisations, including the US, China, the EU and the UK. It is built around ‘People, Planet, Progress’ and seven pillars, notes a voluntary Charter for the Democratic Diffusion of AI on access to foundational AI resources, and the electronics minister said over $200 billion of AI and deep-tech investment was expected in India over the next two years.
