In Focus Podcast | From KYC to AI models: Is India losing its digital sovereignty? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Technology, and especially AI, are no longer just a tool for humans. Today they control our choices, shape our daily routines, and determine how we invest our energies. This is true at the level of the individual, and also at the level of the nation-state.
