Yann LeCun, AI pioneer and former Chief AI Scientist at Meta, says, “It’s enormous and very impressive, with so much activity and many interesting one-on-one interactions and forums. I think many countries should come together to build frontier models using data available across different regions of the world, which is not accessible to proprietary models. This could help open-source AI models become better than closed, proprietary ones... India should invest more in research, incentivise more students to pursue advanced degrees and PhDs, and encourage them to stay in India. Given the changing geopolitical situation, it is becoming harder to study in certain countries, which makes developing local expertise even more important. Being a leader in technology requires vibrant research activity, which can only happen with strong funding for academic research and PhD programmes.”
Brazil’s Ambassador to India, Kenneth Félix Haczynski da Nóbrega says, "President Lula has come to India with the largest ever delegation, with more than 11 cabinet ministers, more than 300 businessmen, among them 50 CEOs. This is taking the bilateral relations historically to a new level." "There is a very good chemistry (between PM Modi and President Lula). I think they are not only colleagues, but they have become friends. That's a fact." "This is a historical summit in the Global South, and the Prime Minister Modi is really trying to include the Global South in this essential new wave of technology, which is AI, which will transform our lives. Yes, India definitely is becoming a new hub for AI."
CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman says, "It is amazing to be here, obviously the work happening in India and the adoption of AI is leading the world, and I can't wait to see what goes next. This will be one of the biggest markets for AI in the world, and I think India will have a huge amount of influence... It (AI) will definitely impact the job market, but we always find new things to do, and I have no doubt we will find lots of better ones this time."
At the #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026, French President Emmanuel Macron says, "India built something that no other country in the world has built. A digital identity for 1.4 billion people. A payment system that now processes 20 billion transactions every month. A health infrastructure that has issued 500 million digital health IDs. Here are the results. They call it the India Stack Open Interoperable Sovereign. That is what this summit is about. We are clearly at the beginning of a huge acceleration, and you perfectly described it during your interventions..."
Lars Reger, CTO of NXP Semiconductors, says, "You don’t need data centers with AI in the cloud. Instead, you need these tiny systems, AI accelerators from Hyderabad and these little units from Noida and Bangalore. You can already see and hear it: this is from India, in cooperation with our European headquarters and R&D centers. This Indian-European combination brings AI to the edge and enables little robots around you."
At a Google event, CEO Sundar Pichai says, "Today, we are announcing the India-America Connect Initiative, which will deliver new sub-sea cable routes to increase AI connectivity between India and the US and multiple locations across the southern hemisphere. For the opportunities this initiative creates, we should also invest in skilling, which is why we are announcing our most ambitious skilling programs here. This includes a new Google AI Professional Certificate program to master AI in their work..."
At the 'Governing in the age of AI: Sovereignty, Impact and Strategy' event, Former UK PM Rishi Sunak says, "Across the world, we're seeing these different attitudes towards AI. In countries like India, where we are, there's enormous optimism and trust, and in Western countries, we're seeing that anxiety is still the dominant feeling towards AI. I think closing that confidence gap is as much a policy task as it is a technical one..."
