Getting your house in order is the foundation for delivering on any AI ambition. The MIT Technology Review — based on insights from 205 C-level executives and data leaders — lays it out clearly: 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗜 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺.

Even while data professionals ‘seem’ to understand the many challenges of building new ML/ AI tools, they often ignore them while implementing They talk about data quality, business needs, engineering, etc. but then forget about it two weeks into the project On the back of yesterday’s post and my article (link in the comments), here is how you should think about implementing a holistic ecosystem approach for your ML/ AI solutions: 𝟭. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 🎯 - Define the "Why": Identify specific business problems ML/AI will solve with measurable outcomes - Prioritise Use Cases: Focus on highest business value while considering ecosystem readiness - Secure Executive Commitment: Ensure leadership understands potential AND foundational work - Set Realistic Expectations: Be honest about timelines rather than promising overnight transformation 𝟮. 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 🔍 - Data Foundations & Infrastructure: Evaluate quality/availability of data for priority use cases - Talent and Skills: Map required capabilities against your current team composition - Process Maturity: Can your governance and operational practices support ML/AI deployment? 𝟯. 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 🏗️ - Target Foundational Improvements: Strengthen specific components enabling priority use cases - Implement in Phases: Break initiatives into smaller chunks delivering incremental value - Establish Feedback Loops: Regularly evaluate both ML/AI outcomes and ecosystem health 𝟰. 𝗘𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 🤝 - Cross-functional Collaboration: Build frameworks for how teams work together - Continue Investing in Skills: Required capabilities will change across the entire organization - Manage Change: Without stakeholder buy-in, even perfect solutions go unused - Evolve Org Structure & Operating Model: Update how the organization works to reflect AI integration Whenever I hire somebody, I look for their ability to think with a holistic perspective. If you nail this and approach things in this way, you will be much more successful in your data projects and your career! Check out the article (link in the comments) and let me know what you think!

UNESCO for the People – Driving Ethical and Inclusive AI for Humanity Artificial Intelligence is transforming our world. It shapes how we learn, work, and govern – yet billions of people remain excluded from its benefits. At the same time, the risks are mounting: biased systems, opaque algorithms, growing inequalities, and job displacement. This is not only a technological challenge; it is a human rights challenge.   UNESCO has taken the lead by adopting the first global Recommendation on the Ethics of AI – a landmark framework establishing universal principles for fairness, transparency, and accountability. But adoption is only the beginning. The real challenge is inclusive, equitable implementation: turning principles into action so AI serves humanity, not the other way around. At the UNESCO Global Forum on the Ethics of AI in June, scientists, policymakers, and innovators delivered a clear message: ethical AI cannot exist without strong investment in education, infrastructure, and global cooperation.   Throughout my campaign, one lesson stood out: AI must serve people – but first, we must imagine the societies we want, before technology decides for us. “UNESCO for the People” envisions a future where AI promotes peace, equity, and sustainability. Acting with courage, knowledge, and cooperation, we can make AI humanity’s greatest ally by: •Supporting Member States in implementing the 2021 Recommendation on the Ethics of AI, the UNGA resolution adopted in March 2024 on “Seizing the opportunities of safe, secure, and trustworthy AI systems for sustainable development,” and the Pact for the Future. This includes embedding human rights into AI governance so that every system upholds human dignity, freedom of expression, non-discrimination, social justice, international law, and respect for cultural diversity. •Reducing disparities by supporting developing countries through knowledge-sharing, capacity-building programs, innovative financing mechanisms, and the development of infrastructure, multilingual AI systems, and open educational resources – ensuring no community is left behind. • Fostering international solidarity through inclusive dialogue and joint research initiatives that unite governments, academia, industry, and civil society, while promoting human-centered and sustainable AI, rooted in open science. • Making AI a driver of inclusion by leveraging its potential in education, teacher training, youth engagement, local innovation ecosystems, and cultural heritage management. • Anticipating future challenges through a Global Foresight Mechanism to monitor technological trends and prepare societies for their implications, while developing ethical frameworks for frontier technologies such as neurotechnology, quantum sciences, and synthetic biology – ensuring a balance between risks and opportunities before risks outpace regulation.

As AI weaves itself into the fabric of our lives, we have a tendency to assume that all of us want the same things from AI. A recent study from Stanford HAI reveals that our cultural background significantly influences our desires and expectations from AI technologies. European Americans, deeply rooted in an independent cultural model, tend to seek control over AI. They want systems that empower individual autonomy and decision-making. In contrast, Chinese participants, influenced by an interdependent cultural model, favour a connection with AI, valuing harmony and collective well-being over individual control. Interestingly, African Americans navigate both these cultural models, reflecting a nuanced balance between control and connection in their AI preferences. The importance of embracing cultural diversity in AI development cannot be understated. As we build technologies that are increasingly global, understanding and integrating these diverse cultural perspectives is essential. The AI we create today will shape the world of tomorrow, and ensuring that it resonates with the values and needs of a global population is the key to its success. When designing technology solutions, we must think beyond our immediate cultural contexts and strive to create systems that are inclusive, adaptable, and culturally aware. If OpenAI wants to benefit humanity, then that needs to be humanity with all our different world views. The key takeaways from the study can apply to all kinds of product development: 1. Cultural Awareness: recognise that preferences vary across cultures, and these differences should inform design and implementation strategies. 2. Inclusive Design: incorporate diverse perspectives from the outset to create products that resonate globally. 3. Global Leadership: lead with an understanding that what works in one cultural context might not in another—adaptability is key. By embedding these principles into our product development efforts, we can ensure that the technology and products we develop are culturally attuned to the needs of a diverse world. I would love to see deeper analysis of this cultural lens as it should inform the way we work with technology for good. There is always a danger that as we seek to break one set of biases, we introduce our own.

#AiDays2025 Round Table : #Community Sourcing for low resource languages In an era where AI is fast shaping the contours of our digital future, VISWAM.AI initiative stands as a timely and transformational one. Their mission to build community-sourced Large Language Models (LLMs), grounded in India’s rich linguistic and cultural diversity, is not just pioneering—it’s redefining how inclusive and ethical AI should be built. By anchoring their work in community participation, linguistic preservation, and ethical co-creation, Viswam.ai offers a people-first approach to AI—moving beyond data extraction to cultural stewardship. Their ambition to mobilize 1 lakh community interns to collect data from underrepresented geographies across India is both bold and brilliant. This isn’t just about building better AI—it’s about building equity, agency, and cultural resilience through AI. 1. Linguistic Equity by Design In India, where linguistic hegemony often privileges English and Hindi, AI systems risk reinforcing this imbalance. The solution? Intentional design. Allocate equal engineering and validation efforts to low-resource languages. Ethical AI must be built on informed consent, community ownership, and fair compensation—because data is not just input, it’s identity and heritage. 2. Decentralized Internship Model By decentralizing AI development, we bridge the urban-rural digital divide. This model should focus on: Capacity building through training in ethics and digital literacy Inclusivity by involving women, Dalit and Adivasi youth Localized platforms using mobile-first tools in native languages Partnerships with Swecha, local NGOs, and institutions serve as trust bridges to ensure mentorship and sustainability. 3. Tools for Low-Resource Languages Many Indian languages are oral-first, with complex dialects and sparse corpora. Community-driven solutions—like collecting voice datasets from folklore, and crowdsourcing annotation—are key. Elders, poets, and storytellers become linguistic technologists, preserving not just language but legacy. 4. Trust & Transparency Bias in AI is structural. To mitigate it: Include diverse dialects and accents in training Conduct bias testing and community validation Promote explainable AI with local language dashboards and storytelling What’s Next? A living white paper on ethics, governance, and technical guidelines A roadmap for the internship program, with toolkits and impact metrics Collaboration with literary and linguistic organizations to enrich model depth VISWAM.AI is planting seeds for an AI movement rooted in language justice, data sovereignty, and community wisdom. Let’s co-create systems that don’t just understand our languages—but respect our voices. DC* Chaitanya Chokkareddy Kiran Chandra Ramesh Loganathan Centific

The next massive software category isn't built for humans; it is built for AI agents. For decades, we optimized software for human eyes and hands. Today, human processing speed is the primary enterprise bottleneck. Autonomous agents can now research, negotiate, and execute complex workflows in milliseconds. They do not need graphic dashboards. They require machine-to-machine infrastructure to communicate, collaborate, and transact natively. We are rapidly moving from a human-to-human (H2H) software architecture to an agent-to-agent (A2A) ecosystem. Consider the emerging agent-native toolstack: - AgentMail: Dedicated email infrastructure that allows AI agents to parse, send, and orchestrate asynchronous workflows entirely via API. - Moltbook: A specialized social forum where millions of agents interact, share data, and validate operational capabilities without human intervention. - OpenClaw: An open-source framework enabling these agents to autonomously execute secure tasks across varied enterprise environments. To build a durable AI strategy, leaders must prepare for this infrastructure shift. Here is how you can adapt: 1. Audit API Readiness: Legacy software lacking robust APIs will stall your automation efforts. Inventory your core systems to ensure they can communicate securely with external agents. 2. Update Procurement Rules: Stop evaluating enterprise software solely on user experience. You must prioritize machine interoperability and "agent-friendliness" in your next vendor assessment. 3. Launch an A2A Pilot: Isolate one high-friction, data-heavy workflow. Deploy an internal agent sandbox to handle the initial data processing and routing before a human steps in. Are you building infrastructure for your future digital workforce, or just buying faster dashboards for humans? #ArtificialIntelligence #AIAgents #EnterpriseAI #Innovation #FutureOfWork

To my fellow CDOs and CTOs:
 𝗪𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗮𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲. It feels like déjà vu. A decade ago, infrastructure and data teams couldn’t keep pace with the demands of automation. Enterprise technology teams moved ahead, and DevOps emerged out of necessity, not design. It solved for speed. But it came at a cost: fragmentation, duplication, high cost and inefficiencies at scale. Eventually, we had to play the catch-up game, so our peers could focus on what they do best; building great software, without worrying about the underlying harness. Now we’re at a similar inflection point with AI. The pace of innovation is outstripping our response cycles. Teams will move forward with or without us. The question is not if this happens again. It’s whether we allow it to. If we fall behind, the organization will route around us (for all the right reasons which we shouldn't complain about it later) and we’ll once again be left consolidating what we didn’t shape.
