17 Feb, 2026

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today underscored the importance of intelligence, reasoning, and decision-making in making science and technology truly useful for society. Underlining the India AI Impact Summit, the Prime Minister emphasized that the core objective of the Summit is to explore how Artificial Intelligence can be harnessed for the welfare of all citizens.

Quoting from ancient wisdom on X, the Prime Minister reflected on the timeless qualities of intellect:

"बुद्धिमत्ता, तर्कशीलता और निर्णय-क्षमता विज्ञान और टेक्नोलॉजी को जन-जन के लिए उपयोगी बनाती हैं। India AI Impact Summit का उद्देश्य भी यही है कि कैसे एआई का इस्तेमाल सर्वजन के हित में हो।

शुश्रूषा श्रवणं चैव ग्रहणं धारणां तथा।

ऊहापोहोऽर्थविज्ञानं तत्त्वज्ञानं च धीगुणाः॥"
