India is showing what it is capable of: Abhishek Singh on AI Impact Summit

In this episode of Newstrack, the focus is on the landmark AI Impact Summit 2026, which is held at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. Abhishek Singh, CEO of India AI Mission, highlights India's ambition to move beyond being a participant to becoming a 'key architect' of global AI standards. Singh emphasises that while 90% of AI patents currently originate in the US, Europe, and China, Indian talent has been a backbone for global tech giants. He asserts, 'India is showing what it is capable of,' noting that the summit aims to democratize AI for the Global South. The program also features Dr. Vishal Sikka, Founder and CEO of Vianai Systems, who discusses 'human-centered AI' and the importance of building tools that amplify human abilities rather than replacing them. Sikka addresses ethical concerns like hallucinations and bias, stressing the need for robust regulation. The summit, inaugurated by PM Narendra Modi, showcases over 600 startups and positions India as a hub for inclusive AI growth and innovation.
