At the India AI Summit 2026, G20 Sherpa and former India===NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant emphasized that Artificial Intelligence's evolution must be guided by accessibility, affordability, and accountability. He warned that without a Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) framework, AI risks creating a deeply unequal global society.

He advocated for AI to move beyond English-centric models to become natively multilingual and suggested that AI development should follow India's successful DPI blueprint for financial inclusion.
