Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is set to address the Harvard Kennedy School's AI symposium, offering insights into the global artificial intelligence landscape and its impact on governance and emerging markets.

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy will virtually deliver the keynote address at the first-of-its-kind AI symposium organised by the Harvard Kennedy School on March 27.

Reddy, an executive education alumnus of the institution, has been invited to deliver the keynote address, the Telangana CMO said in a post on 'X' on Thursday.

"Supported by the Business and Government PIC and the AI & Tech Policy Caucus at HKS, along with several Harvard-based think tanks, the event will be held in person at the HKS campus," it said.

The symposium will foster dialogue on Artificial Intelligence across governance, economic competitiveness, geopolitics, and human capital, followed by panel discussions on "The Race to AGI", "AI in Emerging Markets", "Geopolitics of Compute", and "The Future of Work and Education", it further said.

"The distinguished lineup of speakers includes @AnoushehAnsari, CEO of XPRIZE; Illango Pachamuthu of the World Bank; @GlobalFatema, from the Harvard Center for International Development; and @LandrySigne of the Brookings Institution, among several other global experts and thought leaders," it added.
