Harvard Invites Telangana CM for Global AI Summit
In a major recognition for the state’s digital vision, Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has received a formal invitation from the prestigious Harvard Kennedy School. The invitation asks the Chief Minister to address an international symposium on Artificial Intelligence Policy in the United States this March. This move places Telangana at the center of the global conversation regarding the ethical and structural future of emerging technologies.
The Chief Minister is expected to be the sole representative from India at this high-level academic and policy gathering. During his address, he will showcase the ambitious “AI City” project being developed on the outskirts of Hyderabad. This project aims to create a dedicated hub for research, development, and data processing, positioning Telangana as a global competitor to established tech giants in the West and East Asia.
The invitation reflects the growing international interest in how regional governments manage rapid technological shifts. By participating in this forum, the state government aims to attract major global investments and partnerships with academic institutions. The focus will be on how AI can be used to improve public governance, healthcare delivery, and agricultural efficiency without compromising data privacy or ethical standards.
Political analysts view this invitation as a significant diplomatic and branding victory for the current administration. It provides a platform to highlight the state’s infrastructure readiness and its pro-business environment to an audience of global policymakers and tech leaders. The visit is also expected to include meetings with top Silicon Valley executives to further the state’s industrial goals.
As preparation for the summit begins, the state cabinet is already working on a comprehensive AI policy framework. This document will likely serve as the basis for the Chief Minister’s keynote at Harvard. The goal is to present Telangana not just as a consumer of technology, but as a leader in creating sustainable and human-centric digital solutions for the future.
