Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched India's 'MANAV Vision' for artificial intelligence at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, setting out a comprehensive ethical framework and guiding doctrine aimed at shaping responsible AI development globally.During his keynote address, PM Modi said that the MANAV Vision — the acronym deriving from the Hindi word for "human" — is a human-first blueprint to ensure AI serves humanity's welfare in the 21st century, balancing rapid innovation with moral responsibility, accountability, and inclusivity.The Manav Vision outlines five core principles to govern AI development and use.M - Moral & Ethical Systems: AI development must be rooted in ethical guidance to prioritize human dignity and societal wellbeing.A - Accountable Governance: Clear, transparent rules and robust oversight mechanisms are essential to build trust and mitigate misuse.N - National Sovereignty: Data generated within a country should remain under its control, emphasizing data rights and sovereignty to protect national interests and prevent exploitation, particularly for developing nations.A - Accessible & Inclusive: AI should democratise opportunities, acting as an enabler for the marginalised and Global South, fostering inclusive innovation rather than elite control.V - Valid & Legitimate: AI must be lawful, verifiable, and compliant with regulations to ensure authenticity, combat deepfakes, and maintain societal stability.PM Modi emphasised that the MANAV framework would serve as a "crucial link for humanity's welfare in the AI-driven world", urging global collaboration on principles like human oversight, child safety, authenticity labeling or watermarking, and prohibitions on malicious uses.The announcement aligns with broader initiatives like the IndiaAI Safety Institute, a dedicated body to ensure the ethical, safe, and responsible deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) systems.PM Modi reiterated India's ambition to rank among the top three global AI superpowers through self-reliance, innovation, and ethical leadership, while pitching "develop in India, develop for the world" to promote scalable, inclusive solutions.At least 20 heads of state and governments attended the Summit, including Brazilian President Lula da Silva, French President Emmanuel Macron, Bhutan Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi HH Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake and others.

India Aims For Ethical AI Future as PM Modi Reveals MANAV Vision
17:02 19.02.2026 (Updated: 21:34 19.02.2026) India hosts the world’s biggest 'India AI Summit 2026' in New Delhi from February 16 to 20, drawing more than 500 global leaders, tech CEOs, policymakers and researchers to discuss sovereign AI models and solutions for various sectors.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched India's 'MANAV Vision' for artificial intelligence at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, setting out a comprehensive ethical framework and guiding doctrine aimed at shaping responsible AI development globally.
During his keynote address, PM Modi said that the MANAV Vision — the acronym deriving from the Hindi word for "human" — is a human-first blueprint to ensure
AI serves humanity's welfare in the 21st century, balancing rapid innovation with moral responsibility, accountability, and inclusivity.
The Manav Vision outlines five core principles to govern AI development and use.
M - Moral & Ethical Systems: AI development must be rooted in ethical guidance to prioritize human dignity and societal wellbeing.
A - Accountable Governance: Clear, transparent rules and robust oversight mechanisms are essential to build trust and mitigate misuse.
N - National Sovereignty: Data generated within a country should remain under its control, emphasizing
data rights and sovereignty to protect national interests and prevent exploitation, particularly for developing nations.
A - Accessible & Inclusive: AI should democratise opportunities, acting as an enabler for the marginalised and
Global South, fostering inclusive innovation rather than elite control.
V - Valid & Legitimate: AI must be lawful, verifiable, and compliant with regulations to ensure authenticity, combat deepfakes, and maintain societal stability.
PM Modi emphasised that the MANAV framework would serve as a "crucial link for humanity's welfare in the AI-driven world", urging global collaboration on principles like human oversight, child safety, authenticity labeling or watermarking, and prohibitions on malicious uses.
The announcement aligns with broader initiatives like the IndiaAI Safety Institute, a dedicated body to ensure the ethical, safe, and responsible deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
