Things do not happen. Things are made to happen





The LORD, He is GOD.


The AI revolution is here - bringing both threats and opportunities. Our IT and services sector, a shining star of our economy, is at risk, and thousands of software engineers and professionals will lose their livelihoods if we do not prepare for the storm that is coming. But we have opportunities too. Data is the petrol which fuels the AI engine. As I said in parliament, India’s greatest asset is our brilliant people - and the enormous data we create. In a few days, the government is hosting a grand AI Summit. It should have been an opportunity for India to assert leadership - to demonstrate how a country of 1.4 billion people can use our data to shape the global AI future ON OUR OWN TERMS. Instead, a helpless PM Modi, has surrendered to the US ‘chokehold’ in the trade deal. Under the pretext of “clearing barriers to digital trade”, every move to use our data for our own benefit will be opposed. Already, large foreign companies enjoy a near monopoly on our data through Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Youtube, Amazon, Android, etc. With this deal, India will struggle to: • Safely store the data of 1.5 billion Indians in India • Get transparency in their source codes and algorithms • Tax the profits they make using our data It’s a shame that our Prime Minister has been pressured to hand over India’s prime resource to a foreign power.
