Artificial Intelligence has the power to empower people, strengthen democracy, and take humanity to the next level — but only if it is guided by trust, regulation, ethics, and public good.
In this conversation, I share my concerns about AI, misinformation, election integrity, concentration of power, and the urgent need to rebuild trust in democratic institutions.
Democracy must remain of the people, by the people, and for the people. youtu.be/ts8xnPfRi_4?si=kACs…

Remembering Rajiv Gandhi ji — a visionary leader who believed in technology for people and democracy for people.
His dream was to connect India, empower the last person, strengthen local democracy, and use technology for equality, education, health, and development.
To me, he was a great hero and a great son of India. His unfinished agenda remains our responsibility. youtu.be/MnEI34PJW3o?si=N_SB…

Technology must serve people—not the other way around.
In this conversation, I reflect on the promises and risks of AI, and why human values must remain at the center of innovation.
The future is not about smarter machines—it’s about wiser societies.

By visionary Dr Sam Pitroda, we must focus on the core of AI. The AI future offers powerful opportunities for the Global South by focusing on solving local problems using local databases. Nothing without it.

Thank you, Mauricio, for such a thoughtful and engaging conversation. It was wonderful to discuss how democracy and technology intersect in today’s complex world.
AI gives us a historic opportunity to empower every individual - but only if we use it with ethics, empathy, and inclusion. I truly enjoyed the warmth and curiosity of everyone I met in Colombia..

BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying.
Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt.

What cannot be addressed by scientific papers or news, I love to articulate by means of #ScienceFictions.
There are 3 of them:
