Discover Lokakṣema 2026: The Global AI Well-being Summit — India’s visionary initiative by SHV Groups and Utopian Space to unite governments, innovators, and communities for responsible AI and human well-being.
Introduction to Lokakṣema
Lokakṣema — derived from Sanskrit meaning “welfare of the world” — embodies India’s vision for using Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a force for human progress, equity, and sustainability. The Lokakṣema 2026 Global AI Well-being Summit, hosted by SHV Groups and Utopian Space, aims to be the world’s most inclusive platform for ethical AI collaboration.
Unlike typical tech conferences, Lokakṣema 2026 transcends commercial and academic silos to create actionable pathways for AI-for-humanity — connecting researchers, governments, investors, and citizens in one transformative ecosystem.
The event is more than a summit; it is the birth of a global institution that will shape how AI advances the human condition.
Vision: AI for Humanity, AI for the Future
At its core, Lokakṣema’s vision is to ensure that AI technologies serve human well-being, rather than simply accelerate industrial growth. By 2030, the summit aspires to stand alongside landmark global frameworks like the Paris Agreement and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, symbolizing worldwide commitment to ethical and equitable AI governance.
This vision highlights India’s unique role as a neutral global convener — bridging developed and developing nations in shaping responsible technological futures.
