Stanford US-India AI Summit

​​How is AI being built, studied, and scaled across US-India today?

​​This interactive roundtable event hosted by SIPEC brings together faculty, academic researchers, and leaders from industry - including founders, investors, and operators across tech and AI - to explore India’s rapidly evolving AI ecosystem.

​​The evening program bridges academia and industry perspectives for an open dialogue on opportunities, challenges, and the collaborative pathways shaping AI’s future in the US-India corridor. The conversation will explore the full pipeline: foundational research and talent development, entrepreneurship and venture building, policy and governance, and the broader social contexts influencing how AI is developed and deployed.

​​Dinner will be provided, and programming will conclude with networking with leaders across academia, venture capital, and the AI startup ecosystem.
