Here’s a collection of everything that all the global leaders and tech CEOs have shared with regard to AI at the AI Impact Summit 2026.

Pichai pointed to AI's real-world impact, noting that the Indian government used AI-powered forecasts to help farmers protect their livelihoods, while Google's AlphaFold protein-folding breakthrough is aiding over three million researchers globally in malaria vaccine development.

Artificial intelligence represents the biggest technological platform shift of the current era and has the potential to transform billions of lives, Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai said at the India AI Summit, urging governments, companies, and researchers to pursue the technology “boldly and responsibly.”

Sundar Pichai, speaking at the AI Summit, emphasized that AI must be developed responsibly to avoid widening inequality. He also highlighted Vizag as a future global AI hub and announced a $15 billion investment to support advanced technology and infrastructure in the region.

“Wow!” Sundar Pichai exclaimed after tasting Bharat GI Coffee, adding with a smile, “Malabar Arabica is close to us,” as he interacted with baristas
