From Bharat Mandapam to the world stage, Prime Minister Narendra Modi presents India’s MANAV framework for artificial intelligence — placing humanity at the heart of technology. Built on ethics, accountability, data sovereignty and accessibility, the vision calls for democratising AI and empowering the Global South. With over 100 nations and leading tech voices present, India positions itself as a future hub for responsible AI. Global leaders, including Emmanuel Macron, echo India’s rise. From fire to the internet to AI, Modi calls this the next civilisational leap — with one clear message: AI must serve humanity, not replace it.
