# Event Details - **Event Name**: Tools, Skills, & Culture: Unpack Global Trends in Public Sector AI Adoption - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 17 Feb, 2026 at 02:30 pm – Tue, 17 Feb, 2026 at 03:30 pm - **Event Description**: Join us in a discusion at the India AI Impact Summit surrounding the Global AI Adoption Index.About this EventAI is reshaping how the public sector operates, with public servants in many countries already using AI tools in their day-to-day work. But the depth, quality, and consistency of adoption vary sharply across public institutions, raising a central question: why does AI become part of everyday practice in some public sectors, while remaining fragmented or experimental in others?Drawing on new global research by ITIF’s Center for Data Innovation and Public First surveying over 3,000 public servants across ten countries, this session will surface how AI adoption is actually experienced on the ground inside public institutions. It will break adoption down into its core components, including access to tools, skills and training, leadership signals, and institutional culture, and show how these factors combine differently across jurisdictions.Taking place as part of the India AI Impact Summit 2026, this discussion will connect these insights to the Summit’s broader focus on scaling real-world AI impact. It will explore how policymakers can strengthen public sector AI adoption in practice and translate AI ambition into sustained improvements in public services.Date and Time:February 17, 2026 from 2:30 PM to 3:25 PM (IST)Speakers:Karan Bhatia, Global Head of Government Affairs, GoogleDaniel Castro, Director, ITIF’s Center for Data Innovation (Moderator)Kazim Rizvi, Founding Director, The DialogueRachel Wolf, CEO, Public FirstAgenda:2:30–2:35 PM - Welcome and Scene-Setting2:35–2:45 PM - Research Overview: Global AI Adoption Index – Early Insights2:45–3:05 PM - Panelist Perspectives3:05–3:20 PM - Audience Interaction and Discussion3:20–3:25 PM - Closing ReflectionsAll attendees must also be registered for the India AI Impact Summit 2026. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-delhi/tools-skills-and-culture-unpack-global-trends-in-public-sector-ai-adoption/100001981450500787 - **Event Categories**: business, artificial-intelligence, workshops, art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 24 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New Delhi - **state**: DL - **country**: India - **location**: Bharat Mandapam - **lat**: 28.6126456 - **long**: 77.2433578 - **full address**: Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, India ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Tools, Skills, & Culture: Unpack Global Trends in Public Sector AI Adoption - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/2e445d2b19111d67f94c4d04289ccdd885128818ca76fefe702edcc7ebcdbf13-rimg-w1024-h683-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg?v=1769346674 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Tools, Skills, & Culture: Unpack Global Trends in Public Sector AI Adoption being held? - **A:** Tools, Skills, & Culture: Unpack Global Trends in Public Sector AI Adoption takes place on Tue, 17 Feb, 2026 at 02:30 pm to Tue, 17 Feb, 2026 at 03:30 pm at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, India. - **Q**: Who is organizing Tools, Skills, & Culture: Unpack Global Trends in Public Sector AI Adoption? - **A:** Tools, Skills, & Culture: Unpack Global Trends in Public Sector AI Adoption is organized by Center for Data Innovation. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Tools, Skills, & Culture: Unpack Global Trends in Public Sector AI Adoption", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/2e445d2b19111d67f94c4d04289ccdd885128818ca76fefe702edcc7ebcdbf13-rimg-w1024-h683-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg?v=1769346674", "startDate": "2026-02-17", "endDate": "2026-02-17", "url": "https://allevents.in/new-delhi/tools-skills-and-culture-unpack-global-trends-in-public-sector-ai-adoption/100001981450500787", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Bharat Mandapam", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Pragati Maidan", "postalCode": "110001", "addressLocality": "New Delhi", "addressRegion": "DL", "addressCountry": "IN" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "28.6126456", "longitude": "77.2433578" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us in a discusion at the India AI Impact Summit surrounding the Global AI Adoption Index.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-08", "availabilityEnds": "2026-02-17", "validFrom": "2026-04-08", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/new-delhi/tools-skills-and-culture-unpack-global-trends-in-public-sector-ai-adoption/100001981450500787" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-08", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-08", "url": "https://allevents.in/new-delhi/tools-skills-and-culture-unpack-global-trends-in-public-sector-ai-adoption/100001981450500787", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Center for Data Innovation", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/center-for-data-innovation/17608211", "description": "The Center for Data Innovation is a non-profit, non-partisan think tank working at the intersection of data and public policy.
