On 16 February 2026, the Motion Picture Association (MPA), in collaboration with the FICCI Media and Entertainment Division, will host “Rewarding our Creative Future in the Age of AI” in New Delhi. As an official satellite event of the AI Impact Summit 2026, the session examines how the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and the creative sector can be shaped responsibly to strengthen India’s creative economy through innovation, trust, and talent.
The program features MPA Chairman and CEO Charles Rivkin and includes a headline fireside chat, “Merging Cultural Heritage with Frontier Technology” with Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Union Minister for Information & Broadcasting, Electronics & Information Technology, and Railways. This dialogue explores the essential balance required to safeguard creators while unlocking India’s potential in the age of AI.
