"AI ethics is one of those blue-sky ideas that appears in almost every AI governance conversation but is rarely defined with any precision. As India prepares to chair the #AISummit next month, the term must move beyond abstract principles into practical, enforceable, people-centred standards." writes Prof. (Dr.) Sushant Kumar of @JSGP_JGU indianexpress.com/article/opinio…

New opinion piece in @IndianExpress draws on UNHDR 2025 and argues how AI acts like a mirror, reflecting and amplifying the values, structures, and inequalities of the societies that shape it. Happy to hear thoughts. @UNDP @UNDP_India @pedrotconceicao @UN indianexpress.com/article/opinio…

My new article, "The Chimera Called AI Hub" in TheWire.in, argues how AI hubs risk becoming vast data pipelines feeding Big Tech’s global models while the data of Indian citizens, institutions power algorithms monetised elsewhere, amplifying digital colonialism.

The Chimera Called AI Hub: The New Face of Tech Dependence and Data Extraction If we are serious about “Digital India,” it must be our digital India, not a data colony wrapped in tricolour branding. Sushant Kumar✍️ thewire.in/tech/the-chime…

Hype-based narratives on emerging technologies are a form of power grab to preemptively close the debate and prevent democratic deliberations. Wrote for @360info_global 360info.org/piping-down-th…

We are truly excited to share that we hosted a Masterclass on writing Op-eds, feature articles, stories, policy briefs and a host of other forms of writings by veteran Australian journalist, Mr Martin Daly.

Agree with @ashwinravi99 @prasannalara - @IPL auction needs to be fairer to players. Few players will be retained & rest will be let go before next @IPL auction. My column with @ShivangiChandel How economics can make IPL auction fairer @NewIndianXpress newindianexpress.com/opinions/2024/…

The talk followed interaction with the students, which witnessed alot of intriguing questions, and concluded with remarks from our Registrar, Prof. Dabiru Sridhar Patnaik.

And was greeted by a packed auditorium. The program started with our Vice Chancellor, Dr. C. Rajkumar giving the inaugural address. This was followed up by Introduction to JSGP and the commencement speaker by our Dean, Prof. @SudarshanUN .

We were glad to host Dr. @sanjeevsanyal, Member Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister of India, for our 13th commencement lecture to the Jindal School of Government and Public Policy. Dr. Sanyal’s talk focused on Rethinking Economics based on Complexity Theory.

As the editor puts it, India is a key member of “solution-oriented countries”, and how it shapes its systems and institutions to move to hashtag#green energy while pursuing hashtag#economic growth will be decisive for the world.

We at the Jindal School of Government and Public Policy (JSGP) strongly endorse this book, which has original case studies and empirical evidence on a range of alternative energy sources, green #technologies and #environmental considerations by leading scholars and practitioners.

Congratulations to Professor Dr. Annika Bose Styczynski of the Jindal School of Government and Public Policy for publishing a highly relevant new edited volume from Routledge on hashtag#India’s #energy transition as it aims to achieve #NetZero by 2070.
