The AI Impact Summit in Delhi brings together tech bosses, politicians, scientists, academics, and campaigners to discuss guiding the AI revolution. Despite initial confusion about Bill Gates’ attendance, the Microsoft founder is confirmed to deliver his keynote. The summit highlights the risks of the Global South being left behind in the AI race, with India playing a significant role in building the foundations of this new tech but not reaping as much reward as the affluent West. India has significant AI hubs, a large tech workforce, and has attracted big infrastructure investments, but low-paid workers are shouldering the unseen task of manually categorizing vast amounts of data to train AI tools.
