India Proved the World Wrong: Macron Applauds Digital Growth Story At India AI Impact Summit 2026

Описание: French President Emmanuel Macron delivered a powerful address at the AI Impact Summit, praising India’s digital transformation as unmatched in the world. Beginning his speech with a traditional namaste, Macron highlighted how India has successfully brought 1.4 billion people into the digital economy.

Referring to the transformation enabled by the Unified Payments Interface and digital identity systems, Macron described India’s achievement as not merely technological, but civilisational. He noted how even a street vendor in Mumbai, once excluded from formal banking, can now seamlessly accept digital payments.

Macron also emphasised that India has built a digital identity network, a massive payments system processing billions of transactions monthly, and a growing digital health infrastructure. He said these achievements prove that innovation combined with inclusion can reshape societies.

Addressing Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Macron stressed that the future of Artificial Intelligence must combine innovation with responsibility. He underlined that India and France, alongside like-minded partners, will work together to build a human-centric and ethical AI future.

The speech reinforced India’s growing global influence in digital governance and AI leadership.
