The Consulate General of India in Seattle hosted a pre-event briefing on Nov. 7 for U.S. congressmen and technology executives ahead of the India-AI Impact Summit 2026, set to take place in New Delhi next February.
The session, held at the consulate’s new chancery premises, focused on the summit’s central themes — People, Planet, and Progress — and featured presentations from tech CEOs in the Greater Seattle area. The discussion centered on the use of artificial intelligence in agriculture technology, and the opportunities for investment in India’s growing data center and digital infrastructure sectors.
U.S. Congressman Adam Smith, ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, and Congressman Michael Baumgartner, member of the House Judiciary and Foreign Affairs Committees, attended the briefing. Participants outlined India’s advancements in artificial intelligence and presented the “Seven Chakras,” or themes for global cooperation, which include safe and trusted AI, human capital, science, resilience and innovation, inclusion, democratizing AI resources, and economic growth for social good.
According to the consulate, the Seattle event was the first in a series of such sessions planned across the Pacific Northwest. Additional workshops and briefings are scheduled at major U.S. universities and with AI industry stakeholders in early 2026.
The India-AI Impact Summit 2026 will be held Feb. 19–20 at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. It will be the first large-scale global AI summit hosted in the Global South, bringing together representatives from governments, academia, startups, and the private sector to advance the agenda of “AI for All.”
The two-day event aims to foster international collaboration and convert the potential of artificial intelligence into measurable outcomes benefiting people, the planet, and global progress.
