अखाड़ा सिर्फ कुश्ती का नहीं होता, यह विचारों का भी अखाड़ा होता है। जहाँ अलग-अलग सोच, अलग-अलग दृष्टिकोण और नए आइडियाज़ टकराते हैं — वहीं से समाज और नीतियों के लिए सही रास्ता निकलता है। बहस ज़रूरी है, क्योंकि बिना संवाद सही दिशा नहीं मिलती। — Mr. @SunjoyJ | @thesheroestv Source: youtu.be/5BOa0Y8hPGo #ORFHindi #ORF #raisinadialogue2026

As #AI reshapes economies and global power, inclusion cannot remain optional. Watch @anilkantony, @HenriVerdier, Sarah Nicole, Sunu Engineer, Jerry Sheehan & @SameerP_IND explore how countries can embed inclusion at every stage of the #AI lifecycle. youtube.com/watch?v=K3Q3LC…

.@orfonline, @OfficialINDIAai and @TheECSSR, in partnership with @orfmiddleeast and @ORFAmerica, organised a dialogue titled ‘Secure Frontiers, Shared Futures’ ahead of the #AIImpactSummit2026. The discussion brought together #policymakers and experts to examine #AI-driven #cybersecurity risks and the infrastructure needed for a sustainable AI future. Key takeaways from the session were: • #India–#UAE AI ties are shifting from ambition to action, with joint investments planned in #data centres, talent, and #digital public infrastructure • AI’s expansion is colliding with physical realities, making #energy, water, grid resilience, and #security central to strategy • For the #GlobalSouth, meaningful AI inclusion depends on access to compute, data, and skills. • Need shared standards on safety, #cybersecurity, and data sovereignty @samirsaran, @girichaitanya19, @BeanJD, @SameerP_IND, @andreas_kuehn

The Putin visit was more symbolic than substantial-which is just as well, since Russia is not the answer to India's main security problem, China. My latest via @ThePrintIndia theprint.in/opinion/modi-p…
