The Centre of Policy Research and Governance hosted a dialogue on AI's impact on the creative economy in India ahead of the India-AI Impact Summit 2026. Industry leaders discussed AI's potential in transforming art and media while ensuring it enhances, rather than replaces, human creativity and expression.

In a pivotal pre-summit dialogue, the Centre of Policy Research and Governance (CPRG) convened at the National Stock Exchange in Mumbai to discuss the role of artificial intelligence in India's creative economy. The event, a precursor to the India-AI Impact Summit 2026, assembled filmmakers, creative professionals, and industry leaders to explore AI's potential in the digital economy.

Dr. Ramanand, Director of CPRG, emphasized the significance of AI in reshaping art, media, and entertainment, stressing the need for policies that prioritize creativity and culture rather than mere efficiency. Ashish Chauhan, CEO of the National Stock Exchange, highlighted AI as a transformative force in human progress, likening its impact to pivotal innovations like fire and agriculture.

This roundtable is part of CPRG's 'Future of Society' series, focusing on emerging technologies' influence on society. The seminar also underscored CPRG's commitment to guiding India's AI policy, placing inclusion and ethical considerations at the forefront. Esteemed speakers like Neeraj Roy and Swetha Singh contributed insights on AI's role in content creation and audience engagement, while stressing the importance of inclusive innovation.
