AI for All: My Enduring Vision for Inclusive Intelligence

The recent dialogue hosted by CPRG on "Artificial Intelligence for all" and the setting of the tone for the India-AI Impact Summit 2026 are conversations that resonate deeply with me. It’s heartening to see these critical discussions taking center stage, focusing on the equitable distribution and accessibility of artificial intelligence. For too long, the narrative around advanced technology has often been about exclusivity; now, the shift towards inclusion is not just commendable but essential.

When I reflect on India's burgeoning role in the global technological landscape, I recall articulating years ago how our nation was poised to become the "Brain Factory of the World" India: the Brain Factory of the World. This wasn't merely a hopeful pronouncement but a recognition of India's immense and diverse talent pool in technology, digital solutions, AI, and analytics. As I noted, the "overall employable talent pool for skill sets GCCs are looking for is far larger in India than in any other country" (MNC Hiring in India: The Growth Trajectory). This inherent advantage lays a strong foundation for making "AI for all" not just an aspiration but a tangible reality for our nation and beyond. It positions India not just as a consumer but a critical architect of an inclusive AI future.

My vision for IndiaAGI, a platform where multiple existing AIs—Grok, ChatGPT, Gemini—collaborate to solve complex problems, directly speaks to this very notion of inclusion and democratizing intelligence. The core concept behind IndiaAGI is to leverage the strengths of various AI models in a "Collaborative – Cooperative – Constructive" manner (Home Page Write-Up for IndiaAGI). I had predicted that "Such a collaboration would lead to a (pseudo) AGI, which would be a thousand times more intelligent – and wiser – as compared to any individual / stand-alone / participating AI" (Home Page Write-Up for IndiaAGI). This approach ensures that advanced AI capabilities are not confined to proprietary silos but are amplified and made accessible through collective intelligence, fostering wider participation and benefits. It's a technological blueprint for true "AI for all."

Seeing discussions like the CPRG's inclusion dialogue unfold, with a forward-looking Summit planned for 2026, brings a profound sense of validation. It's striking how relevant those earlier insights regarding India's talent and the power of collaborative AI still are. These discussions underscore the urgent need to revisit and accelerate the implementation of such collaborative models. My conviction remains that by fostering open, cooperative AI development—much like the open-source collaboration I've advocated for IndiaAGI—we can truly ensure that the benefits of AI extend to every corner of society, making it a tool for empowerment rather than a source of disparity.

India has the talent, the spirit of innovation, and the collaborative frameworks to lead this charge towards an inclusive AI future. The path ahead requires continued dialogue, strategic investment in accessible technologies, and a commitment to nurturing an ecosystem where "AI for all" is not just a slogan but a lived reality.
