As the @UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance got underway in Geneva last week, it was great to join a parallel session "From New Delhi to New York: Implementing Inclusive AI Governance in Practice", hosted by CCAOI and TechNiti to share perspectives on India's AI governance ecosystem with attendees from across the globe. We talked about a pattern we keep seeing in tech regulation: rules written with incumbents in mind end up as barriers to entry for startups. As AI governance frameworks proliferate post the New Delhi Declaration, startups risk paying the price for safety regimes calibrated for larger AI companies. A truly conducive framework has to be built with startups in mind from the start, not retrofitted for them later. It was great hearing from fellow panelists @n_audace, CEO of @DUmuganda, @merl_syrex- Lead for Data, Algorithms and Policy at @LIRNEasia; and @snegho, Founder of @tech_niti, each bringing a different vantage point. Thank you @AmritaChoudhury and CCAOI, for bringing us together on this platform. At @SPF_India, we believe the future of inclusive AI governance depends on expanding access to critical resources, strengthening local capabilities, building evidence-based and responsive institutions, enabling responsible innovation, and ensuring the Global South remains an active participant in shaping where global AI governance goes next. @SecretaryMEITY | @GoI_MeitY | @OfficialINDIAai | @_DigitalIndia | @kavitabha | @anshulmsinghal | @gioasempre
