Global Artificial Intelligence Summit & Awards 2026 to bring together technology leaders, policymakers, media pioneers, telecom innovators and entertainment industry decision-makers to explore how AI is reshaping the future of communication, content and digital experiences.
NEW DELHI | 13 November 2026: Artificial Intelligence is no longer simply transforming industries; it is redefining how the world communicates, creates, connects and consumes content. From intelligent telecom networks and hyper-personalised digital experiences to AI-generated entertainment, immersive storytelling and the next generation of gaming, the impact of AI is creating an unprecedented shift across the global digital ecosystem.
Bringing this transformation into the spotlight, the 6th Global Artificial Intelligence Summit & Awards (GAISA 6.0) will feature a major industry focus on Telecommunications, Media & Entertainment on 8–9 December 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi.
Organised by the All India Council for Robotics & Automation (AICRA), GAISA 6.0 is being positioned as a significant platform for conversations around the future of artificial intelligence, bringing together business leaders, policymakers, technology innovators, investors, researchers, startups and global industry stakeholders.
This year’s summit will place particular emphasis on the convergence of AI with telecom infrastructure, digital media, broadcasting, entertainment, gaming and content creation. Leading companies and senior CXOs from across these industries are expected to participate, creating an opportunity for high-level dialogue, strategic networking and exploration of new business collaborations.
AI Is Rewriting the Rules of Telecom, Media & Entertainment
The telecommunications industry is entering a new era in which AI is becoming central to network intelligence, service delivery and customer experience. AI-powered network optimisation, predictive maintenance, intelligent spectrum management, automated customer support and next-generation connectivity are changing the economics and capabilities of telecom services.
As 5G adoption expands and the global industry prepares for future connectivity technologies, AI is emerging as a critical enabler of intelligent, autonomous and highly responsive communication networks.
In media and entertainment, the transformation is equally profound. Generative AI is changing how films, advertisements, music, animation, digital content and interactive experiences are conceptualised and produced. AI-powered editing, virtual production, synthetic media, intelligent dubbing, multilingual content generation and personalised recommendations are opening new possibilities for creators, studios, broadcasters and streaming platforms.
The gaming and interactive entertainment ecosystem is also witnessing a major technological shift. AI-powered game development, intelligent non-player characters, adaptive gameplay, virtual environments, esports analytics and immersive digital experiences are creating entirely new opportunities for businesses and audiences.
GAISA 6.0 aims to bring these developments together through meaningful industry conversations and perspectives from the people leading this transformation.
Leading CXOs and Industry Decision-Makers to Participate
One of the key attractions of GAISA 6.0 will be the participation of senior corporate leadership and CXOs from leading organisations across telecommunications, media, broadcasting, OTT, entertainment, gaming and digital technology.
The summit is expected to provide a high-value meeting ground for CEOs, CTOs, CIOs, Chief Digital Officers, Chief AI Officers, Chief Marketing Officers, business heads, technology strategists and innovation leaders.
With organisations increasingly looking beyond experimentation towards enterprise-wide AI adoption, the participation of senior decision-makers will make the discussions particularly relevant to the industry’s immediate business priorities.
The platform will encourage conversations around AI investments, technology partnerships, business transformation, responsible AI adoption, emerging revenue models, intellectual property, content authenticity, data governance and the future of digital consumer engagement.
