Abhishek Singh, CEO of IndiaAI Mission, emphasized that the Summit will shift the AI dialogue towards practical applications in various sectors like education, healthcare, agriculture, governance, startups, services, and employment.

The Summit’s goal is to translate global AI discussions into tangible benefits for people, showcasing AI as a tool for inclusion, efficiency, and empowerment.
