NEW DELHI: United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres held bilateral talks with Prime Narendra Modi in the national capital.
Guterres arrived in India to attend the AI Impact Summit 2026.
Guterres called for utilising Artificial Intelligence for global good and mitigate challenges being faced by humanity. He urged countries to come together and prepare, protect, and invest in people. Today international cooperation is difficult. Trust is strained, and technological rivalry is growing.
He made the remarks while speaking at the Global AI Impact Summit 2026 here in the national capital on the role of science in international AI governance.
“We are barrelling into the unknown. AI innovation is moving at the speed of light, outpacing our collective ability to fully understand it. If we want AI to serve humanity, policy cannot be built on guesswork. It cannot be built on hype or disinformation. We need facts we can trust and share across countries and across sectors. Less noise, more knowledge”, he said.
Guterres highlighted the steps taken by the United Nations around AI noting the recently formed AI Panel.
