🗣️ "One idea that stayed with me was the conclave’s dual focus. There is AI for Education, where AI becomes an enabler across teaching, learning, assessment and system operations. And then there is AI Education itself - building awareness and skills through initiatives like #AISamarth".
CSF's @bhanupotta shares this relevant reflection from @iitmadras' pre-summit event held ahead of the #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026.
Together with industry leaders, researchers, academicians and members of CSOs, Bhanu reflected on various AI-related themes at this forum, including public–private–academia partnerships, building and scaling #AIForEducation and promoting #ResponsibleAI.

1 in 4 surveyed firms expects job losses due to AI-driven automation. The report warns of significant disruption; however, once scaled, AI could increase annual GDP growth by 2% or more and boost productivity by up to 5%.

Panel: AI for Public Good
The discussion unpacked how AI can empower and endanger public trust. Misinformation now spreads through machines, making AI literacy for journalists is essential. Truth and trust can’t survive in silos. @iitgn #sjaiconference2025

Grateful to have had a chance to talk to this amazing group of women leaders & thinkers about looking at AI harms through a gendered lens & ways to fill the gaps in regulation & policy.
We talked about safety harms of course, but also access, economic, & representational harms.
How do we regulate #AI in India while addressing its gendered harms? At the Network of Women Politicians Meeting, @iamanushkajain spoke on AI regulation through a gender lens.
