AI is rapidly moving into mainstream use across industries, driving huge growth in computing, model development, and startup investment, while raising concerns around safety, bias, and regulation.

Global AI summits have tracked this evolution, from Bletchley Park 2023 to Seoul and Paris, with the 2026 AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, India marking the first in the Global South, highlighting innovation, inclusion, governance, and global cooperation.

In this episode, Matthew speaks with BSI’s Tim McGarr about the AI India Impact Summit, the key drivers of global AI adoption, and why trust, governance, and real-world AI use are more important than ever.

They also explore how organizations can use emerging frameworks and standards – and in particular ISO/IEC 42001 - to ensure responsible and trustworthy AI and prepare for evolving regulations.

Plus, since it’s The Standards Show, Tim also shares his standards journey.
