New Delhi, February 16 We are looking forward to discussions at the AI summit that focus on developing technologies while preserving one's identity, ethics, and value system, says a member of the Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple.
Members of the well-known Hindu temple in the national capital, run by the Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS), are participating in the summit for the first time.
On their participation in the summit, the temple's member, Dr. Aksharananddas Swami, said they are seeking opportunities to implement AI technologies within their infrastructure.
"We are looking for educational opportunities and learning opportunities. How can we preserve our values in the age of AI? We want to maintain our core values and ethical systems. This is very important," he told PTI on the sidelines of the five-day AI Impact Summit 2026, which began on Monday.
"How can we develop technologies without losing our identity, ethics, and value systems? How can we integrate those value systems? These are the important conversations we want to have with many people here," he said.
A side event, organized in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, is also being held at Akshardham as part of the summit.
According to Aksharananddas Swami, it is important to be aware of one's own values.
"If you are not aware of your values, you may tend to ignore them and move on to something else. Being aware of your values and using technology will provide a good pathway," he added.
