New Delhi is transforming into a fortress of diplomacy and technology this weekend. As the “India-AI Impact Summit” kicks off on Monday, the capital welcomes a rare mix of heads of state and Silicon Valley royalty. But amidst the fanfare, one empty chair is sparking rumors of a rift in the global chip supply chain.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has forecasted a transformative economic shift for India, declaring that AI data centers will become the new “factories” of the 21st century. Comparing this pivot to the internet boom of the 90s, Huang envisions a future where India moves from exporting software services to manufacturing and exporting “intelligence,” creating diverse job opportunities across all sectors.
