India Is Becoming an Architect of the Global AI Order | Ivana Bartoletti of Wipro

Where India is in the AI journey, they became kind of the IT services center for the world. And they have tremendous human resources. It looks to me like they were so successful at that. They didn't transition to AI until fairly late in the game. Ind is no longer just a consumer or a talent exporter in artificial intelligence. So it's to an extent becoming an architect of the global AI order. India is an AI power. India also has that ambition. And frankly, it makes more sense to me that India, sort of lead on the global south. The European Union wrote the rules. The US wrote the checks.

So, yeah, so the AI summit was held, three weeks ago in New Delhi. It was an interesting summit that speaks to an ex so to what you're asking. Also speaks to where India is at at the moment. So I have been to previous summits, and, of course, you know, these are summits. So it's not like but, it was interesting because it was the most open summit had been to compared to Bletchley Park or Paris Club here. The topic went from Paris, which was action summit, to Impact Summit. So the topic of the summit in India was the impact of AI on business, well-being, society, and inclusion.

And, of course, there was sort of head of states and and AI ministers from across the world, but it was interesting because it was open and there was sort of a lot of young people coming in, to to listen.
