Titled "India AI Impact Summit 2026: AI Governance at the Edge of Democratic Backsliding", the report highlights how generative AI has become a tool of the BJP to "demonise" minorities and the use of AI for "indiscriminate mass surveillance" in India. ADVERTISEMENTThe report says: "Generative AI has also emerged as a convenient tool for the BJP to demonise, dehumanise, and incite violence against minorities. "Just a week before the India AI Impact Summit, BJP’s Assam unit uploaded an AI-generated video on its official X account, depicting the chief minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma, shooting at two visibly Muslim men with the title 'No Mercy'.

The report ends with long lists of recommendations for states, industry, generative AI content and civil society.
