India’s participation in the AI Summit Paris 2025 marks a significant milestone in the country’s leadership in shaping the future of artificial intelligence (AI). The summit, which brings together policymakers, tech leaders, and industry experts, has become a crucial platform for discussing AI’s transformative role in the world’s emerging economies, particularly in the global south. India, through its initiatives like AI4India and Data Daan, is pushing forward the development of AI solutions that are tailored for the unique challenges and opportunities faced by emerging economies.

AI4India and the Center for Policy Research and Governance (CPRG) are co-hosting an official side event at the summit titled "Data for Development: Building AI in the Global South." This panel discussion will feature a host of leading experts and policymakers, including notable figures like Mr. Abhishek Singh, Mr. Shashi Shekhar Vempati, Mr. Alok Agrawal, Dr. Ramanand Nand, Mr. Sean Dougherty, and Mr. Gunjan Bhardwaj. These experts will explore critical themes such as data sovereignty, AI’s influence on global trade, economic resilience, and the future of work in an AI-driven world.

The Data for Development Initiative
One of the standout moments at the summit will be India’s Data Daan initiative, which is aimed at creating a robust ecosystem of open, publicly accessible datasets that can be used to develop more accurate and inclusive AI models. By encouraging data sharing and transparency, India seeks to level the playing field for emerging economies in the development of AI technologies. These datasets will help train AI models that can address the specific needs of these regions, from agriculture to education and healthcare, and further bridge the technological gaps that exist globally.

India’s vision for AI development goes beyond just technological advancements; it also focuses on the importance of creating a sustainable economic model where AI serves the global good. By making AI solutions more accessible and beneficial to the developing world, India hopes to foster an international collaborative environment where countries can learn from each other’s experiences and expertise in the AI space.

Preparing for an AI-Driven Future
AI4India and CPRG’s event will also discuss economic resilience in an AI-driven era. The panel will focus on how AI is reshaping industries and transforming labor markets worldwide. In particular, it will address the issue of AI and the future of work, exploring ways to equip workforces with the necessary skills to thrive in a world where AI plays a central role in decision-making, problem-solving, and creativity.

Furthermore, the event will explore the concept of AI sovereignty, which refers to the ability of nations to control their data and AI systems, rather than relying on foreign technologies. This is especially important for countries in the global south, where AI technologies are often imported, and local expertise is underrepresented in the development of these technologies. AI4India aims to ensure that AI development is driven by local needs and local solutions, rather than being influenced by the interests of global tech giants.

Fostering International Collaboration
Another important aspect of the discussion will be how AI can foster international collaboration. In order to ensure that AI serves the global good, countries must work together to establish common standards and frameworks for the development and deployment of AI technologies. This collaboration is critical for addressing global challenges such as climate change, healthcare, and economic inequality, where AI can play a pivotal role in delivering sustainable solutions.

India’s active involvement in this summit highlights the country's growing influence in the global AI ecosystem and its commitment to promoting AI as a tool for inclusive development. By hosting this panel and presenting its initiatives, India is not just contributing to the AI conversation but also shaping its direction towards creating solutions that work for the world’s most vulnerable populations.
