Telangana is stepping onto the world stage of artificial intelligence. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has received an exclusive invite from Harvard Kennedy School to speak at the AI Policy Symposium on March 27. This gathering of minds at the elite business school celebrates the state’s visionary push in tech infrastructure.
The CMO shared the news Sunday, detailing Reddy’s role in the panel ‘AI as Infrastructure and Compute Power: Impact on Livability and Workforce.’ Conversations will zero in on data centers, energy systems, compute pathways, collaborative models between public and private sectors, and skilling for responsible AI growth.
Backed by Harvard’s AI and Tech Policy Caucus, Business and Government Program, and leading research hubs, the event fosters dialogue among top-tier government, industry, and academic figures. Themes span AI governance, international rivalries, supportive infrastructures, and inter-sector partnerships.
Telangana’s invitation ties directly to its AI City project within the India Future Cities Initiative. Under Reddy, the state excels in allocating land, building power networks, nurturing talent, crafting rules, and forging investment alliances—hallmarks of a thriving AI ecosystem. His insights are set to provide grounded perspectives to international audiences.
The symposium’s origins trace to Reddy’s US trip, where planners engaged him deeply. This move affirms Telangana’s ascent in AI, tech policy, and innovation ecosystems. In an era of rapid tech evolution, Reddy’s participation highlights how regional leaders can drive national and global progress.
Hyderabad’s transformation into an AI epicenter exemplifies proactive governance. By addressing livability and workforce challenges head-on, Telangana offers a blueprint for others. Harvard’s call to Reddy isn’t just prestige—it’s a call to share strategies that make AI work for people and economies alike.
