The summit, described by organizers as a landmark event for the future of artificial intelligence, marks the first time the premier gathering is being hosted in a Global South nation.
The event is expected to draw approximately 250,000
participants, including heads of state and leaders of international
organizations, industry executives from the world’s leading technology firms,
and investors and researchers focused on AI innovation.
Under the theme of "Humanity, Planet, and
Progress," the summit aims to establish a unified international roadmap
for AI governance. Discussions will focus on human-centric innovation,
environmental protection, and transitioning from political rhetoric to
"tangible global cooperation."
A primary goal of the New Delhi summit is to amplify the
voices of developing nations to ensure an equitable distribution of
technological advancements.
Egypt’s presence underscores its ambition to remain a key
player in the global digital economy. The Ministry of Communications and
Information Technology is set to play a prominent leadership role at the event.
Notably, Egypt will co-chair the Working Group on Democratizing AI Resources. The ministry said it aims to solidify Egypt’s influence in crafting global frameworks that ensure digital transformation provides measurable benefits to its citizens.
