The upcoming AI Impact Summit in India, a major global technology industry event, will proceed without Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

The summit is poised to be a significant convergence of global leaders, featuring over 20 heads of state, 50+ ministers, and top tech CEOs discussing AI's role in "People, Planet, and Progress." Confirmed participants include Sundar Pichai (Google & Alphabet), Sam Altman (OpenAI), Demis Hassabis (Google DeepMind), Brad Smith (Microsoft), Cristiano Amon (Qualcomm), and Bill Gates.
In addition to tech luminaries, the event will host political leaders and ministers from major economies, as well as international organization officials like UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres. Indian industry leaders such as Mukesh Ambani and Nandan Nilekani are also expected to attend, alongside substantial delegations from public and corporate entities.
