Former UK prime minister Rishi Sunak joked about Delhi’s traffic as he addressed the India AI Impact Summit 2026 in New Delhi. He began by apologising for reaching late to the session. “Sorry we're a few minutes late and it's entirely my fault. AI can do many things as we found out this week, but it can't yet fix Delhi's traffic,” he said. (PC: HT) Sunak said there was no better place than India to discuss AI transformation. He said the summit provides a regular forum to talk about the technology. He added that AI can work for both developed and developing countries. Sunak said India is well placed to lead in AI due to its strong talent base and digital systems. (PC: HT)
