Delhi Wrap-up: 86-Nation Declaration and $250B

On February 21, 2026, the India AI Impact Summit concluded with the signing of a global declaration. 86 nations and 2 international organizations agreed on the principles of safe, energy-efficient, and ethical AI.

The main outcome of the summit is money. The volume of pledged investments in AI infrastructure exceeded $250 billion. India has officially secured its status as a new gravitational point for Big Tech. However, analysts note: the declaration is purely advisory. No legally binding steps to control AI monopolies were adopted. Ethics remained on paper, while capital flowed into concrete and servers.
