The second day of the India AI Impact Summit began with a high-impact session that examined the dual imperatives of people-centric AI and sovereign technological capability. During the session, Secretary of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), S. Krishnan, stated that the India AI Mission is designed to address diverse needs and real-world challenges. He emphasized that the India AI Impact Summit is focused on identifying impactful applications that can be created using AI.
Mr. Krishnan encouraged attendees to visit the more than 600 startups and companies at the expo and see the sectors where AI is being used. He stated that governments will never have enough teachers, doctors, or judges, but if AI can enhance productivity, service quality can improve dramatically. The challenge is to identify what works, scale it responsibly, protect privacy, and ensure that public funds create measurable outcomes.
