Kratsios is expected to provide an update at the summit on President Donald Trump’s America AI Exports programme, created through an executive order to promote the global adoption of U.S. technology stacks.
In a post on X, Kratsios said the United States was “setting the gold standard for AI innovation” and aimed to share that approach with global partners.
Other members of the delegation include Jacob Helberg, Undersecretary of State for Economic Affairs; William Kimmitt, Undersecretary of Commerce for International Trade; and Jeffrey Kessler, Undersecretary of Commerce for Industry and Security.
The visit comes shortly after India and the United States signed a trade agreement reducing tariffs on India to 18 percent from 25 percent and addressing non-tariff barriers. Under the deal, India will lower certain trade barriers and increase purchases of U.S. energy, technology, and agricultural products.
The AI Impact Summit is one of the largest global gatherings of policymakers and industry leaders focused on artificial intelligence. This year marks the first time the event is being held in the Global South.
