Episode 27 - Power, Politics and Public Interest: The AI Conversation We Need

AI, Geo-Politics and the Public Interest: Say Again? On this episode of Say Again, Amrita Tripathi engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Astha Kapoor, co-founder of the Aapti Institute. We discuss key takeaways from the recent AI Summit in Paris, emphasising the urgent need for public interest in AI development. What is the leadership role India can play at this stage? Kapoor highlights the importance of addressing gender bias in AI technologies and why we need more inclusive systems. She also talks about the complexities of AI governance and the challenges posed by global power dynamics. As always, we look at the behind the scenes journey, as Kapoor shares more on her career trajectory before she became a founder, and the joy and privilege of seeing the digital public infrastructure grow in our lifetimes, transforming millions of lives in India.
