Happy to share the comp anthology, #HumanInTheLoop, exploring near-future risks & unintended consequences of GenAI in India. https://t.co/H3M9wAzAb7 Thru 6 stories, we explore: • The Wandering Healer: AI & the future of healthcare • Premium Justice: automation in courts 1/3

#HappeningSoon Catch our ED @JhalakKakkar on the panel, 'Discovering models and roadmaps for operationalising the AI Governance Guidelines - A Global South Perspective' at Day 2 of the Conclave on Safe and Trusted AI. She's joined by Hector de Rivoire (Microsoft), Nitarshan R.

As conversations on AI in health accelerate globally, we hope this adds urgency, clarity & practical direction. Read here: https://t.co/k6ggXAe8DH #AIforHealth #ResponsibleAI #HumanCenteredDesign #UNUIIGH #UNU #TransformHealth #GlobalDigitalHealthForum #GDHF #GlobalHealth #HCAID

This misalignment produces AI solutions that then become contextually blind, risking disruption of public health workflows, overburdening health workers with extra work, eroding trust, amplifying existing inequities, and even causing clinical harm.

It traces a clear pattern in conventional AI dev lifecycles which often diverge from established best practices in Human-Centered Design, esp in critical early stages where understanding real-world constraints, health system workflows, and community needs is most critical.

The report examines why many AI-for-health solutions—despite good intentions—struggle to deliver equitable, sustainable impact in low- and middle-income contexts.

Thank you to acting DG Lee @mofa_kr for co-hosting the launch in ROK 🇰🇷 of our new regional report "The Next Great Divergence" We asked AI, and many of partner policy and academic institutes, the question 'Will AI Widen Inequality between Countries?" We even went back to

DFL's Shefali Malhotra writes for @techpolicypress on India’s new AI Governance Guidelines & what it'd take for these guidelines to translate into actual protection for users. She says India’s AI model has promise, if protections keep pace w/ innovation. https://t.co/NTwO4DRG3n

Thank you to @manotsavaindia & @RNP_Foundation (our partners supporting the development of Human in the Loop) for this opportunity to take research to diverse audiences. Thank you also to everyone who visited and said hi! @helloQS @urvashi_aneja @naj396

Its urgent to adapt methods like participatory foresight & storytelling (that we used with Human in the Loop) to bridge imagination and policy, helping us build more human-centred digital futures. Explore the series → https://t.co/gQJNVXxOGw #AI #Foresight #HumanInTheLoop

One of the visitors commented, “We don’t yet have an imagination of how AI will impact us; this is incredibly helpful.” The responses reaffirm the very goal of this project: we need more tools to imagine our futures better, given the pace of GenAI's evolution. @SashaEmJay

What does it mean to imagine AI’s impact; not through data, but through stories? We were at @manotsavaindia this last weekend with #HumanInTheLoop. Our booth invited 400+ visitors to explore how GenAI could reshape empathy, resilience, and care.

Most AI models are also 'oriented towards the alphabet' and struggle to process Indic “abugida” scripts (where letters are 'mushed together'), which can lead to errors." She further outlined some basic risks explaining the complexity of speech for transcription tools. 4/5

of training data available. The digital ecosystem for these languages… is also quite limited. Malayalam is likely to be a 'low-resource language' which means that it suffers from a significant scarcity of linguistic resources, such as corpora… and annotated datasets. 3/5

Dona cautions about the risks of seemingly innocuous AI-enabled tools for transcription, drawing from her work on AI in courts and voice technologies. "AI models require 'vast quantities of text' to become accurate, but for Indic languages, there is a relative paucity... 2/5
