I asked following UPSC style “ Personality Test “ question of my Virtual Avatar ( www.HemenParekh.ai ) :

 

“How would you strike a balance between innovation and human oversight while implementing AI-driven public services in India? “

 

My Avatar answered :

“  Based on my extensive writings and advocacy on AI governance, I believe striking the right balance requires a multi-layered approach. As I argued in January 2024 regarding AI regulation, we need a structured oversight framework similar to the pharmaceutical industry, with clear registration, auditing and licensing regimes.

The key is to implement AI in public services through what I call "pragmatic regulation" - one that empowers both protection and progress.

This means:

1. Establishing transparent evaluation mechanisms, especially for AI deployment in smaller cities and semi-urban regions

2. Creating a national AI oversight body comprising technologists, ethicists and civil society representatives

3. Developing AI-powered compliance tools and real-time audit frameworks to ensure accountability

 4. Investing aggressively in expanding AI skills through the National AI Portal while partnering with academia

 

The goal isn't just to build powerful systems, but to embed these tools in ways that amplify service delivery while maintaining human dignity.

As I've consistently emphasized, India must rapidly build its AI capabilities while ensuring robust safeguards.

We must focus on developing specialized, context-aware AI models that integrate seamlessly with Indian realities rather than just chasing bigger models. This requires close collaboration between local innovators, academia and governance bodies to foster sustainable, scalable outcomes that benefit all strata of society.

The future of Indian AI depends as much on widespread participation and trust as on cutting-edge innovation. We must champion the transition from AI maturity on paper to AI impact in practice. “

Next I asked my Avatar following question :

“You are the District Collector of a drought-affected district. Hundreds of angry farmers have surrounded your office (‘gherao’) demanding immediate payment of crop insurance compensation.

The crowd is agitated, shouting slogans, and the local media has arrived. You are aware that the delay occurred because the insurance company has not yet released the funds due to incomplete field verification reports.

You cannot call for heavy police action, as the situation may turn violent. How will you handle this crisis?”

 

Avatar replied :

First, I would immediately step out to meet the farmers directly, showing respect and willingness to engage in dialogue. This personal approach helps diffuse tension and demonstrates leadership.

 

I would invite farmer representatives inside for a detailed discussion while ensuring transparent communication with the larger crowd through a public address system. The media presence can actually help broadcast our commitment to resolution.

 

Key actions I would take:

 

1. Acknowledge the farmers' legitimate grievances and hardships due to drought

2. Clearly explain the current status of insurance claims and verification process

3. Make immediate calls to insurance officials in the farmers' presence

4. Issue a written commitment with specific timeline for resolution

5. Set up a help desk to address individual cases

6. Deploy revenue officials to expedite pending field verifications

7. Arrange for water and basic facilities for the gathered farmers

8. Establish a joint committee with farmer representatives to monitor progress

 

Most importantly, I would ensure continuous communication and avoid any perception of hiding behind bureaucratic walls. The focus would be on concrete problem-solving steps rather than confrontation.

 

If needed, I would even consider camping in the office until late evening to demonstrate my commitment to resolving their issues. The key is to convert an adversarial situation into a collaborative effort for solution. “
