•The ‘India AI Impact Summit 2026’ highlighted AI's potential for real-world development outcomes, moving beyond hype.
•World Bank emphasizes "small AI" – practical, affordable systems for low-resource settings – to narrow development gaps.
•Paul Procee and Mahesh Uttamchandani discussed AI-led exclusion, algorithmic bias, and India's role in global AI norms.
•World Bank focuses on AI driving inclusion, not deepening divides, through initiatives like AI-powered learning tools in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, and farmer support in Uttar Pradesh.
