- On Thursday, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor praised the India AI Impact Summit, saying the first days went "extremely well" and emphasized that "by and large what has been impressive is the attendance... a number of presidents, prime ministers, and world leaders are here, and they've come with a strong message of wanting to see a newly integrated world in AI development, where the impact upon society would be the principle," Tharoor said.

- Expanding beyond the summit, Tharoor said the Kerala Story film was a `hate-mongering film` and noted `around 30` such cases over years should not be exaggerated.
