India Hosts Global AI Impact Summit and Introduces Educational Revolution with Open Exams

Global Leaders in Delhi – Debate on People, Planet, and Progress

This February, India becomes the global center of dialogue for artificial intelligence, welcoming the large-scale AI Impact Summit in Delhi. The theme "People, Planet, Progress" brings together state leaders, IT giants like Sam Altman and Sundar Pichai, innovators, and educational experts from around the world.

Focus on Real AI Application and Social Benefits

The Summit emphasizes real benefits of AI: digital transformation, better healthcare, sustainability, inclusiveness, and ethical standards. India shows a desire for technological leadership and sharing best practices with countries like Bulgaria – focusing on social and climate challenges familiar to us.

Revolutionary Reforms – Open Exams for Students

Alongside the AI summit, the Indian government announced a historic change: starting from the academic 2026/27 school year, open book assessments will be introduced for 9th-grade students. Instead of mechanical memorization, the focus shifts to critical thinking, solving real problems, and a creative approach. Students will use textbooks, notes, and digital resources during exams, which already enhances their analytical skills and understanding of the material.

Opportunities and Perspectives for Bulgaria

In the era of global digitalization, topics like AI integration in education and developing future competencies are especially relevant for Bulgaria. The Indian model is an example that can inspire reforms in our country – more flexible forms of assessment, integration of AI tools, platforms for adaptive learning, and digital assistants for students and teachers.

Conclusion

The AI Impact Summit in Delhi supports global dialogue on technological and social changes, and India's educational reforms expand horizons for academic modernization in Bulgaria and the region. Mutual sharing of best practices can lead to more sustainable education, higher competence, and social benefit.
