External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar highlighted India’s ongoing efforts to advocate for global Artificial Intelligence (AI) governance aimed at promoting sustainable development and inclusive growth.
Speaking at the inaugural session of the Trust and Safety India Festival 2025, he underscored the importance of shaping an international AI agenda that safeguards trust, fairness, and accountability.
“We in India, we have consistently advocated for global AI governance and the shaping of an international agenda. We have demonstrated this during our G20 Presidency and strongly urged its usage for advancing Sustainable Development Goals, while safeguarding trust, safety, fairness and accountability. As a founding member of the Global Partnership on AI, we promoted the New Delhi Declarations which envisaged responsible and inclusive AI. We participated in the AI Summits in Bletchley Park and Seoul and co-chaired the Paris AI-Action Summit last year. The AI-Impact Summit in 2026 – with a focus obviously on impact – will take this forward,” Jaishankar said.

Addressing AI Concerns: Bias, ethics, and privacy
Jaishankar also addressed the growing concerns around AI, particularly in areas such as bias, ethics, privacy, and vulnerability. He stressed the need for a global discourse and multi-stakeholder engagement to tackle these challenges effectively.
“This is an endeavour whose success depends on our ability to ensure multi-stakeholdership. And that is why the TASI Festival today is important because it sends out a strong inclusive and pro-people message on this critical issue,” he added.
Sharing his thoughts on social media platform X, Jaishankar wrote, “Pleased to address the inaugural session of Trust and Safety India Festival 2025. Highlighted the all-pervasive and transformative impact of AI. And India’s efforts in fostering AI governance based in trust, safety, fairness and accountability.”

Looking Ahead: India to host AI Impact Summit 2026
India is set to host the India — AI Impact Summit in New Delhi on February 19-20, 2026, an ambitious global gathering announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the France AI Action Summit earlier this year. According to the summit’s official website, the event will focus on turning dialogue into measurable outcomes, aiming to harness AI for human development, environmental sustainability, and equitable global progress.
The summit aims to bridge the global AI divide through multilateral action, ensuring that AI’s transformative potential strengthens communities, protects the planet, and drives sustainable advancement.
“At the core of the objectives lies an emphasis on democratizing access to AI resources, advancing innovation that reflects diverse local contexts, embedding environmental priorities into AI design and models, and promoting systems that are safe, trusted, transparent, and human-centric. Another objective is to amplify the voice of the Global South, ensuring that technological advancements and opportunities are shared broadly rather than concentrated in a few regions,” the website noted.
