VIDEO | PTI Exclusive: AI Summit: World has a lot to learn from India on the key issue of scale for effective AI implementation, says IFAD evaluation chief. India’s emergence as a major force in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in applying technology at scale in sectors such as agriculture, offers important lessons for the world, a senior official of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) said on the sidelines of the AI Impact Summit being held in the national capital. Indran Naidoo, Director of the Independent Office of Evaluation at IFAD, said India’s ability to implement large-scale development interventions makes it uniquely positioned in the evolving global AI landscape. “And I know there's been very strong evaluative growth and development in India. I have visited many times on various events, with an event last week. And the world has a lot to learn from India on the key issue of scale. So how do you massify an intervention at scale? And many countries are not dealing anywhere close to the scale of India. But if you can get it successful at scale, then there's learning to be done,” he told PTI in an exclusive interview. #PTIAtAIImpactSummit #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026 #AIImpactSummit2026 (Full video available on PTI Videos - ptivideos.com)
