Speaking at the AI Impact Summit 2026, Gupta stressed that global interdependence in technology is inevitable. "We will always remain interconnected and interdependent across the world." He further said that some countries will excel at chips, others at raw materials, data, models, talent, or capital, so "collaboration is essential".
