​On February 18 in New Delhi, alongside the AI Impact Summit convened by Prime Minister Modi, the AI Alliance hosts Scaling Intelligence Outward — an invitation-only evening convening 100+ global AI leaders to address the defining question of this era: who owns the AI that nations and industries run on — and why open source is the foundation of sovereignty.
