'AI Can't yet Fix Delhi's Traffic': Rishi Sunak Jokes About Arriving Late for AI Impact Summit 2026

  • 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.
  • Critics, including Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, argued that the AI Summit is a 'disorganised PR spectacle' with Chinese products showcased and caused 'embarrassment' for the country, opposition leaders said.
  • Acknowledging organisational problems, Shashi Tharoor said `some glitches` can happen at any `large event`, responding to reporters after the launch of his new book on Narayana Guru and before the summit session he was due to address the following day.
  • Tharoor said India has clearly led the drive in this area, signaling a claim of national leadership, and noted parts of the French Rafale are manufactured in India to increase self-reliance.
  • 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.
