Advancing Sound AI Leadership Through U.S.-India Ties

In 2023, the U.S. Chamber helped launch U.S-India AI technology cooperation when we hosted the first bilateral talks that led to the formation of the U.S.-India TRUST initiative.   

Now, the U.S. Chamber and our U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC) are preparing to lead a delegation of American business leaders—ably helmed by the Chamber’s Jordan Crenshaw and Jay Gullish—to the AI Impact Summit in New Dehli, India, next week.

Among the most important convenings on AI taking place anywhere in the world this year, the summit represents a unique opportunity to deepen U.S.-India technological convergence, critical to ensuring that the transformative power of AI is guided by democratic and market-oriented principles.

As an official partner of the Summit, the U.S. Chamber is bringing the voice of the American private sector straight to the forefront of these groundbreaking discussions. Our delegation, comprised of U.S. Chamber experts and business leaders, will lend expertise building upon the U.S. Chamber’s leadership role at previous AI summits in France, the U.K., and beyond.

As AI rewires every sector of the global economy, the collaboration between the U.S. and India—two of the world’s most dynamic innovation ecosystems—is increasingly essential to driving responsible innovation. Together, our companies and entrepreneurs are pioneering AI applications across healthcare, agriculture, financial services, and more. 

Our delegation will engage top U.S. and Indian officials, as well as those from other international governments, several Indian ministers, and some of the world’s leading executives. These conversations will promote thoughtful AI leadership, sound governance, and strategic technology and business partnerships—from AI and critical minerals to quantum computing. 

Our U.S. Chamber and USIBC delegation looks forward to a productive week in India and to continuing our work with government and industry leaders from both countries to unlock the full potential of public-private collaboration on AI—and to ensuring that responsible innovation and investment will keep America, India and like-minded nations at the forefront of global AI competitiveness.
