Shaping the global conversation on AI
The challenge
AI rules are taking shape around the world
Countries are deciding how AI will be developed, used and governed, and different rules across markets can create barriers to innovation and investment. As host of the 2026 AI Impact Summit, India had an opportunity to help shape global AI policy. ITI and the technology industry wanted to use the summit to move the conversation from broad principles to practical policies that support responsible AI and innovation.
ITI centered its members in the global AI debate
ITI worked with the Indian government, U.S. officials and technology leaders before and during the summit to bring industry expertise directly into the global AI policy discussion. At the Government of India’s invitation, ITI served as an official partner of the 2026 AI Impact Summit.

ITI brought industry’s voice into one of the most important international AI policy meetings. The summit advanced ITI priorities, including risk-based AI rules, workforce development and global cooperation. More than 90 countries signed the New Delhi Declaration on AI Impact. The summit also produced the Trusted AI Commons, voluntary workforce principles and guidance for risk-based, interoperable AI governance.
