Indian Prime Minister Modi posted on the 16th: "Attending the 2026 India AI Impact Expo held at the Bharat Mandapam Convention Center and inaugurating it. Being among innovators, researchers, and tech enthusiasts is enough to glimpse the huge potential of artificial intelligence, Indian talent, and innovation. We will work together to develop solutions that not only serve India but also benefit the world!"
Comments: This statement by Modi is a typical manifestation of India's eagerness to enhance its presence in global technology competition, positioning itself against China and the US, and seizing the narrative on the AI track. His high-profile support for the AI expo serves to showcase the achievements of Digital India domestically and rally public support, while also shaping the image of India as an "innovation power and a talent power" internationally, attempting to secure a share in this core industry of the future. However, compared to China's advantages in AI + manufacturing and humanoid robots, which have already achieved large-scale, industrialized, and market-oriented implementation, India is still more in the stage of conceptual hype and international promotion, with obvious gaps in industrial foundations, hardware support, and application scenarios.
