From February 16 to 20, 2026, India will host the AI Impact Summit, the first global AI governance forum to be held in the Global South. Under the theme “People, Planet, Progress,” the event will bring together policymakers, technology leaders, and representatives of civil society—with the goal of ushering in a new era of international cooperation in AI regulation.
What makes the summit special:
It’s not just about policy papers or ethical principles. The focus is on concrete implementation, operational management, and the development of practical frameworks for companies worldwide.
India is sending a clear signal: The next phase of AI governance will no longer be negotiated solely between Brussels, London, and Washington—it will be shaped in a global, multipolar, and application-oriented manner.

The AI Impact Summit marks a shift in both focus and geographic scope. While many Western forums are still debating risk categories and model transparency, India is adopting a governance approach centered on impact and social benefit.
The three central themes:
People – AI as a Tool for Inclusion, Access, and Human Dignity
Planet – AI as a Catalyst for Environmental Goals and Sustainable Development
Progress – AI as a Driver of Economic Sovereignty and International Cooperation
Governance is not understood here as reactive regulation—but rather as a framework for shaping digital development.

For companies, this summit means one thing above all else: Tomorrow's governance standards will no longer be shaped solely by the EU or the U. S.
Anyone who works internationally must understand that AI policy:
is interpreted differently from region to region, but has a global impact
is conceived not only in terms of risk, but increasingly in terms of impact
is imposing increasingly specific organizational requirements, such as those related to impact assessments, local accountability structures, and operational transparency
is supported by multilateral frameworks such as the G20, UNAI, or GPAI, but is more strongly integrated into national implementation strategies
Companies that build global governance capabilities now will secure a structural advantage—not only from a regulatory standpoint, but also from a strategic one.
