Take a good look at how real global powers handle AI summits. The UK, South Korea, and France—all of them put out clean, professional posters that scream innovation, collaboration, and cutting-edge tech. No prime minister’s face hogging the frame. No personality cult stealing the spotlight. Then there’s India: a gigantic portrait of narendra modi dominating the entire design, with AI elements shrunk down to a pathetic afterthought in the corner.
This isn’t subtle branding. This is narcissism on full public display—an event supposedly about the future of artificial intelligence turned into a giant ego billboard. When the poster says more about one man’s vanity than the technology itself, you know exactly where the priorities lie.

Sleek, futuristic design focused on global risks, ethics, and breakthroughs. Not a single photo of the Prime Minister. Because mature leaders understand the event is bigger than their face.

South Korea
The undisputed king of tech innovation—puts out posters bursting with robots, neural networks, and forward-thinking visuals. zero shots of their president. Shocking, right? Almost like they want people to talk about AI, not the guy in charge.

France
It goes elegant and cerebral: bold graphics on regulation, creativity, and international cooperation. Macron? Nowhere to be seen. Imagine hosting a world-class summit and letting the ideas take center stage instead of your own portrait.

India’s AI Impact Summit poster:
Modi’s face, enlarged to heroic proportions, is looming over everything like a dictator’s propaganda shot. AI itself? Reduced to a tiny icon tucked away like it’s an inconvenience. This isn’t promotion—it’s worship.

The contrast is brutal and embarrassing. Serious nations treat these summits as platforms for ideas and progress. india treats it as another photo-op to feed one man’s endless need for personal glorification.
