Artificial intelligence is becoming a strategic priority across emerging economies. At the recent AI Summit in India, discussions centered on sovereign AI, the effort by countries to develop domestic AI capabilities aligned with local priorities, languages, and security needs while reducing dependence on foreign technology providers.

This webinar will examine the main takeaways from the summit and explore how countries in the global south are navigating the balance between sovereignty and interdependence. What do these strategies mean for digital development, investment, governance, and geopolitical alignment? How might summit discussions translate into concrete policy and regulatory decisions?

Join the Brazil Program at the Inter-American Dialogue on March 5, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET, for a conversation debriefing the AI Summit in India and assessing its implications for policymakers, congressional staff, academics, and thought leaders.
