KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is committed to playing an active role in shaping a more equitable global artificial intelligence ecosystem, Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo said.

He stated this commitment was reinforced following the recent official visit of India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Malaysia. Gobind said Malaysia was honoured to be invited to the India AI Impact Summit 2026, describing it as a meaningful platform to advance inclusive and responsible AI development.

According to international media reports, the summit began on Feb 16 in New Delhi. It brought together more than 35,000 global leaders from over 100 countries, including key figures in the global technology industry.

Gobind, in a post on X, said the summit was anchored on three core principles: People, Planet and Progress. He noted it moved beyond political statements towards tangible deliverables, cooperative frameworks and measurable outcomes at a time when the global AI gap is widening.

“The mission is clear; to ensure AI serves humanity, drive inclusive economic growth, foster people-centric innovation and protect our planet,” he said.

Gobind added that he looked forward to meaningful engagements at the summit. He aims to bring home valuable insights to further strengthen Malaysia’s digital transformation agenda.

The summit showcased practical AI solutions, technologies and applied developments across various sectors. These included industry, finance, healthcare and security.
