Highlights from Day 1 of Global Investors Meet, 2025, Invest Karnataka, and Exchanging AI Ethics Books :D

From Abhivardhan, our Chairperson

And the Day 1 of Invest Karnataka 2025 by Government of Karnataka is concluded. It was lovely to see AI performing traditional dances-inspired graphic ensembles, and some passionate remarks by key ministers.

Met and shared my AI book with James (Kayliang) Ong, Artificial Intelligence International Institute (AIII), Singapore.

We discussed a bit long on the potential of spiritual and cultural ideas of India in shaping AI ethics someway or the other.

His book (co-authored by Andeed Ma, and Siok Siok Tan) refers to concepts like "risk wisdom" in the context of AI ethics (link: https://www.amazon.in/AI-Humanity-Building-Sustainable-Future/dp/1394180306), while I realised my AI book (link: https://amzn.in/d/48bqNwy) focuses in a chapter on how to navigate AI policy problems in a multipolar world.

I also had the pleasure to meet and catch up with Nik (Niklaus Samuel) Gugger, an India-born Member of Parliament at The Federal Assembly — The Swiss Parliament about AI / cybersecurity considerations.

Meanwhile, if interested, do not miss attending my panel in the Meet on February 13, 2025, that is today - on Global AI Frameworks, featuring James, Var Shankar, Gillian Lester, and Anka Reuel in Hall B organised by Economist Impact. See you today at Bangalore Palace, Hall B, hopefully.
