India will host a summit on artificial intelligence on Monday, in which giant global companies will participate, along with a number of world leaders.
The position of this Asian country is increasing among the main destinations for artificial intelligence companies, as Alphabet’s Google, Microsoft, and Amazon have already announced investments totaling about $68 billion in artificial intelligence and their cloud infrastructure until 2030.
Indian officials are working to highlight the India AI Impact Summit, which was launched on Monday, on the basis that it is a space to clearly hear the views of developing countries regarding the governance of the global artificial intelligence sector. Delhi is the first city in a developing country to host this global event.
"Benefit and happiness for all"
“The theme of the summit is... win-win, happiness-for-all, reflecting our shared commitment to harnessing artificial intelligence for human-centered development,” Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote on

CEOs of major companies are scheduled to speak at the summit, including the presidents of Alphabet, OpenAI, India's Reliance, and Google's DeepMind.
Modi is also likely to deliver a speech next Thursday with French President Emmanuel Macron, who is visiting India as part of a broader tour.
India, which has not yet produced a leading global model in the field of artificial intelligence that competes with American or Chinese models, is betting that its competitive advantage lies in widespread use and not in developing basic models.
The largest market for AI users
It is noteworthy that this strategy is supported by a significant expansion in the use of these models and tools in India, such as exceeding the daily number of GBT chat users in India, which reached 72 million by late 2025, making it the largest user market for Open AI currently.
However, the rapid adoption of AI also threatens jobs in India's $283 billion IT sector. Jefferies Investment Bank expects that call centers will face an estimated 50 percent decline in revenues due to the adoption of artificial intelligence tools by 2030.
More than 250,000 visitors are expected to participate in this summit.
