National Conference on AI for Bharat 5 and 6 March 2026

Artificial Intelligence is becoming a transformative force that is reshaping economies, societies, and governance systems across the world. In the Indian context, AI holds immense potential to solve some of the long-standing socio-economic problems in education, employment, healthcare, financial inclusion, and governance. 

The proposed national conference titled “AI for Bharat” aims to examine the multifaceted impact of Artificial Intelligence on India’s developmental journey with a focus on inclusive growth, industry transformation, and future work.

The aim of the conference is to provide an interdisciplinary platform where scholars, industry practitioners, policymakers, and students from Arts, Commerce, Science, Engineering, Management and Computer Science and Applications to deliberate on the adoption and implications of AI across diverse domains such as art and literature, medicine and healthcare, agriculture and rural development, education and skill development, business and commerce, and public governance. As AI-driven technologies increasingly influence decision-making, creativity, labour markets, and service delivery, it becomes imperative to assess their social consequences, ethical dimensions, and policy implications, particularly in a diverse and developing country like India.

The conference will showcase keynotes and paper presentations focusing on empirical work, conceptual work, and policy engagement links for artificial intelligence and society. In this way, the conference aims to facilitate engagement between the social sciences, arts & humanities, management studies, and tech disciplines to encourage collaborative research on the intersection of artificial intelligence and societal needs for national development. The outcome of this conference will give rise to informed policy talk, responsible use of artificial intelligence for societal benefit through increased awareness among educators and students from non-tech disciplines about artificial intelligence. In essence, this conference aims to integrate artificial intelligence for inclusive development in Bharat.
