00:00India's AI Impact Summit has kicked off in New Delhi, bringing together world leaders
00:04and top tech CEOs for a five-day global meeting on the future of AI.
00:09More than 250,000 visitors and around 20 national leaders are expected to attend.
00:13So why is this such a big deal?
00:15Here are three things we can expect.
00:171.
00:18India wants a central role in the AI world As the world's most populous nation and
00:22one of the fastest growing digital markets, India wants to act as a bridge between the
00:26global north and the global south.
00:27To do that, India is investing in large digital public systems and nationwide programs under
00:32the India AI mission designed to work at massive scale.
00:35However, there are some open questions as the government's annual AI budget was cut to about
00:401,000 crores down from 2,000 crores last year.
00:432.
00:44The debate is about responsibility This summit is a part of the global debate on
00:48how AI should be governed, covering regulations, ethics, safety risks, misinformation, child
00:54protection and job disruption.
00:55Experts say large-scale reskilling will be essential as AI becomes mainstream.
01:01In India alone, about 16.2 million workers may need new skills, even as 4.7 million tech
01:07jobs emerge.
01:083.
01:08Expectations are high, but doubts remain The summit's slogan is People, Progress, Planet.
01:13But critics warn that past AI pledges often ended up as self-regulation where companies
01:19set their own rules.
01:20So, the key question this week is, will leaders take real action to control AI risks or just
01:25talk about them?
