From Bletchley Park to Delhi and What Comes Next | AI Summit Special

In this episode of Interpreting India, Nidhi Singh is joined by Mariano-Florentino (Tino) Cuéllar, President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and one of the very few people to have attended all four global AI summits, from Bletchley Park to Delhi. The conversation traces the arc of AI summit diplomacy, what has been accomplished, where the gaps remain, and what the process reveals about how different parts of the world are thinking about a technology that is moving faster than any single government or institution can keep up with. How has the conversation at AI summits shifted from existential risk and frontier safety to economic opportunity and beneficial deployment, and is that a sign of progress or a loss of focus? What did India bring to the AI governance conversation that the UK, South Korea, and France could not, and how does the scale of this summit change the trajectory of the summits? With the UK and the United States stepping back from multilateral consensus, can the summit series still deliver meaningful outcomes? What should Geneva, the next summit host, actually try to accomplish?
