Now, it seems that almost nothing in our lives moves without AI. On 12 June 2018, long before the world became so obsessed with artificial intelligence, I had the opportunity to participate in an Inclusive AI Conference at the UN Headquarters in New York. The United Nations had already foreseen both the immense potential and the serious risks associated with AI. The objective was clear: to chart a roadmap for Inclusive AI so that marginalized, vulnerable, and underserved communities would not be pushed further to the margins by this transformative technology. Eight years later, I find myself reflecting on how far we have come—and how far we still have to go. Despite remarkable technological advancements, the world appears increasingly unequal, discriminatory, abusive, and undemocratic for many sections of society. The UN and countless organizations deserve credit for their efforts to address these challenges, but the broader trajectory remains worrying. Systemic discrimination, skewed income distribution, ecological degradation, and escalating climate impacts continue to deepen existing inequalities. The rich are getting richer, often at the expense of both the poor and the planet. Not surprisingly, they also dominate access to and control over emerging technologies, including AI. The contradictions are striking. AI-powered drones can help irrigate crop fields and improve agricultural productivity. The same technology can also be deployed to bomb innocent children in conflict zones. Yet the small and marginal farmers who feed much of the world often cannot afford these innovations, nor are they positioned to benefit from them. This is why we need to fundamentally rethink how technology is developed, governed, and adopted. Technological progress, by itself, cannot be the measure of human progress. No matter how sophisticated our tools become, the rights of poor, Indigenous, and marginalized communities to land, water, forests, livelihoods, and dignity must remain non-negotiable. Democracies, too, need to be reconnected to principles of inclusion, justice, and accountability. If AI is to serve humanity, it must be guided not merely by innovation and profit, but by equity, rights, and ecological responsibility. The future should not belong only to those who own technology. It must also belong to those whose lives are most affected by it. ~ Ranjan Panda 13th June, 2026 #InclusiveAI #EthicalAI #AIandSociety #ClimateJustice #HumanRights #SocialJustice #IndigenousRights #SmallFarmers #FoodSecurity #Democracy #JustTransition #LeaveNoOneBehind #CombatClimateChangeIndia #WaterInitiatives #Youth4WaterIndia #MahanadiRiverWaterkeeper @WaterInitiativ1 @MahanadiRiver @Waterkeeper @Youth4WaterIn @WFP @FoodSystems @IFAD @theGCF @theGEF @Welthungerhilfe @WHH_India @BoellStiftung @boell_India @FESinAsia

Please watch the @UKAIofficial #WomeninAI #Podcast featuring Emma Beattie, that explores how AI can help individuals perform their best work by reducing cognitive load and structuring thinking. It also highlights how AI can make work more accessible, particularly for neurodivergent employees, navigating systems that were not originally designed for them.

It’s Figure-It Friday 🧩✨ What if raising a concern was as simple as speaking in your own language? Bimla is helping her mother discover a voice-first public service platform powered by multilingual AI. Citizens can submit their grievances using natural voice or text in any of India's 22 scheduled languages, without navigating complex forms or needing to identify the correct government department. The platform understands the issue, asks relevant follow-up questions, assists with categorization, and helps connect citizens to the appropriate government office. By making public services more accessible through voice and language technology, it helps bridge language, literacy, and digital access barriers for citizens across the country. ✨ Can you guess which initiative Bimla is exploring today? 👀👇 Hint: AI-powered multilingual platform enabling citizens to register and track public grievances using voice and text. #FigureItFriday #BHASHINI #DARPG #LanguageAI #VoiceFirst #DigitalIndia #CitizenServices #InclusiveAI #MultilingualIndia #PublicServices @GoI_MeitY @narendramodi @PMOIndia @AshwiniVaishnaw @JitinPrasada @SecretaryMEITY @amitabhnag @spalsi @_DigitalIndia @DPIITGoI @OfficialINDIAai @mygovindia @RajbhashaVibhag @HMOIndia @AmitShah @Zoho @amitabhk87 @OfficialINDIAai @startupindia @NICMeity @ndtv @republic @DDNational @EconomicTimesAI @EconomicTimes @PIB_India @ETNOWlive @DrJitendraSingh @DARPG_GoI @ANI @CNBCTV18News

The future of technology will be shaped by decisions being made now about AI governance, funding, procurement and accessibility regulation. The question is whether that future will be inclusive. Read more: davebanesaccess.medium.com/a… #InclusiveAI #Accessibility #DisabilityInclusion

Thought-provoking @UKAIofficial panel on Sovereign AI at @dawncapital, expertly chaired by @Timforchange with Isvari Maranwe, James Hilmes, and Christopher Kenna. They brought deep knowledge, real-world experience, diverse perspectives, and clearly articulated opinions on whether the UK’s lack of ownership over AI models, data and infrastructure poses a national security risk.💡 #ResponsibleAI #EthicalAI #SovereignAI #EquitableAI #InclusiveAI #NationalSecurity #LondonTechWeek @SciTechgovuk @AISecurityInst @ChamberVoice @UKSovereignAI

This includes ensuring that new technology solutions are designed with #ethics in mind. #aiethics #ethicalbydesign #inclusiveai
Too often, living with a disability means living in a world designed by & for others. Luckily, it's possible to redesign a world where everyone has the chance to pursue their dreams. Together, let’s build a fair future for all.

🇮🇳 Proud to represent Anuvadini AI at the #Inc42AISummit2026, India's largest invite-only AI gathering, alongside 600 founders, innovators, and business leaders in Bengaluru. At a time when the world is talking about AI, we're building AI that speaks India's languages. 🔹 150 Cr pages translated 🔹 700 NCERT books enabled 🔹 2,000 hours of multilingual video processed 🔹 22 Indian languages 89 foreign languages supported Developed under AICTE, Ministry of Education, Government of India, Anuvadini AI is powering multilingual communication across education, healthcare, judiciary, defence, and enterprise ecosystems. India's linguistic diversity isn't a challenge; it's an opportunity. Multilingual AI is not a feature. It's the foundation for truly inclusive technology. Thank you, @Inc42, for the platform and everyone who joined the conversation. @buddhabjp #AnuvadiniAI #AIForIndia #MultilingualAI #GenerativeAI #ArtificialIntelligence #LanguageAI #DigitalIndia #BharatAI #AIInnovation #MadeInIndia #TechIndia #AIStartup #AIProducts #LanguageTechnology #InclusiveAI

“Do not build solutions for people. Co-create solutions with them.” — Olubunmi Okunowo, Gates Foundation At the #DSNAIBootcamp25, @bunmiokunowo  delivered a message that went beyond product design. When you sit with the people you are building for — when you have real conversations with them — you gain something no dataset can give you. You gain context. And context is what determines whether a solution gets adopted or abandoned. He reminded us: AI is no longer a frontier privilege reserved for researchers and tech companies. It is becoming a public infrastructure. And like all infrastructure, it must be built to serve everyone — not just those closest to the drawing board. The most important measure of your solution’s success is not investor backing or benchmark scores. It is adoption — whether the people it was built for actually use it, trust it, and find it useful for the very purpose it was created. At DSN, we hold this as a core belief. Every advancement in AI must be adapted to the specific needs and environmental context of the people it is meant to serve. #DataScienceNigeria #DSNAIBootcamp25 #TechForAll #InclusiveAI #AfricaTech #AIForGood #BuildWithPeople

To make AI truly impactful across India, simple translation isn't enough. We need technology that natively understands the deep cultural roots and nuances of our diverse languages. @ManishGuptaMG1 , Senior Director at @GoogleDeepMind , highlighted this perfectly at Mumbai Tech Week: "𝘈𝘐 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩-𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴.

Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, released on May 25, reflects on the opportunities and challenges posed by artificial intelligence through the lens of human dignity, the common good, inclusion and responsibility. In this video, we examine how several themes in the encyclical draw parallels with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks on AI at international forums and summits.
