70 countries sign New Delhi AI declaration, more expected

The New Delhi AI Impact Summit Declaration has been signed by 70 countries so far, with the government saying the number should cross 80 on Saturday, when the final declaration is released and the Summit officially concludes. The government extended the Summit expo by a day to accommodate what it described as an overwhelming response from the public.

Addressing a press conference at the Summit, IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said there was broad consensus on the declaration and that all major countries — “people who matter in AI” — had signed on.
