Calling it a “significant outcome” of the summit, the minister said, “Today, leading frontier AI companies along with our own AI companies have come together to make a set of voluntary commitments – a shared commitment for inclusive and shared AI.”
He said the initiative reflects a common vision among global AI leaders and Indian innovators to ensure that AI development remains responsible, inclusive and beneficial for society.
Two frontier AI commitments
Vaishnaw outlined two central commitments under the initiative. “The first is advancing real-world AI usage through anonymised and aggregated insights,” Vaishnaw said, adding that this would “support evidence-based policymaking on jobs, skills and policy making”.
According to him, the effort is expected to help governments and institutions better track employment trends and evolving skill requirements while maintaining privacy safeguards.
“The second is strengthening multilingual and use-case evaluations,” he said, stressing the importance of ensuring AI systems work effectively across languages and social contexts.
Focus on inclusive, responsible AI
Announcing the commitments, Vaishnaw said leading frontier AI companies, along with India’s own innovators such as Sarvam, Bharatjan, Yani, and Soket, “have come together to make a set of voluntary commitments that reflect a shared vision for inclusive and responsible AI”.
He added that the initiative positions India as a leading voice in shaping AI governance from a Global South perspective. “This initiative positions India at the forefront of building a Global South-led perspective on AI governance, one that balances innovation with equity and real-world impact,” the minister said.
