PM Modi Unveils MANAV Framework At AI Summit 2026, Calls For Inclusive AI For Global South
Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented India’s bold and human-centric vision for artificial intelligence at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi, calling for the democratisation of AI and introducing the MANAV framework to guide its ethical and inclusive development. Addressing global leaders, technology pioneers, and policymakers, the Prime Minister stressed that artificial intelligence must empower humanity rather than reduce people to mere data points. He highlighted the need to ensure that AI benefits everyone, particularly developing nations in the Global South, and does not remain concentrated in the hands of a few powerful entities. The MANAV framework, introduced as India’s roadmap for responsible AI governance, focuses on five core principles: Moral and Ethical Systems, Accountable Governance, National Data Sovereignty, Accessible and Inclusive Technology, and Valid and Legitimate AI systems. According to the Prime Minister, AI must operate within ethical boundaries, ensure transparency, protect national data rights, and remain accessible to all sections of society. He emphasized that AI should serve as a multiplier of human potential rather than a monopolistic force controlled by limited stakeholders. The framework aims to ensure that AI remains lawful, trustworthy, and beneficial to humanity while supporting innovation and growth. Prime Minister Modi described artificial intelligence as one of the most transformative technologies in human history, comparable to major breakthroughs such as the discovery of fire and the invention of communication systems. He noted that AI is evolving at an unprecedented pace, impacting industries, economies, and societies worldwide. He warned that without proper governance, AI could create disruption, but with the right direction, it can become a powerful solution to global challenges including healthcare, education, and economic development. The India AI Impact Summit 2026, which brought together over 200,000 participants and representatives from more than 100 countries, reflects India’s growing leadership role in shaping the future of AI. The event featured participation from major global technology leaders, innovators, and policymakers, highlighting India’s position as a key hub for AI innovation. The Prime Minister also praised young innovators and entrepreneurs, noting that the next generation is actively shaping the future of artificial intelligence despite early scepticism surrounding emerging technologies. Prime Minister Modi emphasized that India’s MANAV vision is designed not just for national development but for global benefit, particularly for countries in the Global South. He called on international leaders to work together to ensure that artificial intelligence remains inclusive, ethical, and aligned with human values. He reiterated that the ultimate goal of AI should be welfare for all and happiness for all, ensuring that technological progress strengthens societies rather than widening inequalities. The summit marks a significant milestone in India’s technological journey, positioning the country as a global advocate for responsible AI governance. With its focus on inclusivity, ethics, and accessibility, the MANAV framework represents a major step toward building a balanced and human-centric artificial intelligence ecosystem that can benefit people across the world.
