Professor Chandrasekhar, Nobel winner in Physics in 1983, is celebrated for his pioneering contributions to our understanding of stellar objects, black holes, and white dwarfs.

Representing India at this prestigious two-day summit, Chandrasekhar is part of a diverse gathering that includes delegates from 27 countries, prominent businesses, members of civil society, and AI experts. This marks the first global summit of its kind, hosted by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, to address the future of AI and its accompanying challenges.

This summit takes place in the historically significant Bletchley Park, home to the remarkable British mathematician Alan Turing and his team, who played a pivotal role in breaking the Enigma code during the Second World War.
