NEW DELHI – Today, global tech trade association 91¿ì»îÁÖ marked the conclusion of India’s successful 2026 AI Impact Summit. The Government of India’s flagship gathering built on previous summits in France, the United Kingdom, and South Korea, and produced key outcomes to advance cooperation on inclusive, responsible, and actionable AI governance while exploring how to leverage the technology for real world benefits. As an official Summit partner, 91¿ì»îÁÖ hosted high-level engagements that convened global technology executives and senior government leaders to further the dialogue on responsible AI, digital innovation, and the evolving AI governance landscape.
"The AI Impact Summit brought together international private and public sector leaders to discuss how to translate shared AI principles into tangible impact,” said 91¿ì»îÁÖ President and CEO Jason Oxman. “The Declaration and accompanying commitments represent an important step forward in the global AI dialogue. We appreciate India’s work to host this historic gathering and encourage its leaders to build on the Summit’s momentum to cement its AI leadership. As the representative of innovators across the AI tech stack, 91¿ì»îÁÖ was proud to partner with the Government of India to help inform this important conversation and shape policy outcomes. We look forward to continuing our engagement with Switzerland for next year’s Summit."
The AI Impact Summit Declaration and accompanying documents outlined steps to further global AI cooperation across seven key areas and reinforced the shared democratic values underpinning responsible AI development and deployment. These efforts address pressing issues like potential workforce impacts, democratizing access to AI, and developing safe and secure AI systems. Among other areas, 91¿ì»îÁÖ welcomed commitments from global governments on:
-
Developing a repository, the “Trusted AI Commons,” to enable easy referencing of technical AI safety resources, evaluations methodologies, and best practices from around the world;
-
Voluntary guiding principles for skilling and reskilling for an AI era; and
-
Voluntary guidance on implementing risk-based, interoperable AI governance approaches in practice.
As a strategic convener and policy partner, 91¿ì»îÁÖ organized two panels: one that explored agentic AI – the next frontier of AI – and another C-suite panel examining how governance responsibilities can be coordinated effectively across the AI ecosystem. 91¿ì»îÁÖ also partnered with the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) to host a discussion on content provenance within India’s evolving AI governance framework and transparency.
Earlier this month, 91¿ì»îÁÖ laid out a blueprint to cement India's tech leadership and shape the future of global responsible AI development and adoption.
