Thanks for being supportive to our years of AI policy initiatives so far. 🙏🙏
This is shaping up to be an incredible resource
Even if nobody in the world cares about this, we at @indicpacific are coming up with our best technical manual on AI Safety and Governance - EVER.
Like freaking ever.
Indic Pacific x IndiaML.org (cc @HiSohan)
The last best we truly did was in 2025 - the Global AI Inventorship Manual and the AI and Market Power in India report.
And craziest part? We added 42 technical definitions around AI, ethics and cybersecurity in our dictionary (just search "indiaml.org" on indicpacific.com and see for yourself).
Good night anyway! Another world-class effort in the making which most Indians will anyway ignore, because WE all KNOW WHY.
I would rather be the Beatles / Steve Jobs / Aditya Dhar / somebody like Illayaraaja than caring for naysayers.

Presenting the AI Transformation Matrix by AIACT.IN by @indicpacific and @IndianSocietyAI .
We said, and we did it.
We involved 28 stakeholders to develop India's first ever AI industry diffusion report on Uttar Pradesh.
So here is some revelation. It is a 170-178 page report.
Nobody can read this report which is so long - so we thought - how about we present the problems that a long report like ours is truly addressing?
So, please go to up.aiact.in/ and access the first part of the AI Transformation Matrix, which highlights the sub-sectoral areas and the specific problems this report already addresses.
We thank Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay for proposing the idea of an AI Transformation Matrix to our editors.
The complete matrix with micro-recommendations and policy mandate will be released once the report is published.
But yes, the report will be publicised in July 2026.
Until then, please wait. But yes, happy to discuss any of the problems highlighted in the AI Transformation Matrix.
Thank you for your patience everyone!
Good night with 1 update.
India’s first comprehensive AI industry policy report on Uttar Pradesh, will launch this July, officially in 2026.
28 Stakeholders participated in an 8 month journey - startup founders, legal engineers, lawyers (very few), tech professors, product managers, techbros, AI and neuroscience nerds, and even content and advertising mavericks.
This report is endorsed by leaders from Economic Laws Practice, Rishihood University, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, a NLU, and other nice places :)
28 stakeholders, 10 sectors covered, 4 crazy editors including Nisha Singh, Ayushi Agarwal, the great @adityajakki and yours truly obviously.
Thank you for your patience as always.
Good night. 🫡
Our Founder, @IndusThink was quoted by The Ken on "How India is trying to navigate AI copyright’s three-body problem", which by all means, is one of the few media reports with a nuanced and comprehensive take on AI copyright.

India must develop sovereign AI to avoid 'digital colony' risk, says Sarvam AI Co-founder Vivek Raghavan

What does AI sovereignty mean for India now?
Talking straight from the Bharat Mandapam.
🔹Currently we are heavily dependent on US Tech for a variety of domains and it was something willingly done by India over past 3 decades
🔹 Pursuing to decouple from US is a good sovereignty and strategic autonomy seeking move and there’s absolutely no disagreement on the intent.
🔹 Decoupling from the US is a gradual medium term exercise if it has to be done and without investing in corresponding domestic capabilities over medium term, it will prove disastrous for India.
So anyone who comes at me with “don’t peddle for further US dependencies/partnerships” then you damn well start questioning the nation, corporates and govt on investing big in indigenous capabilities. Don’t bring the low PCI and India’s different priorities for 1.4 Billion then as excuses for not investing domestically. Sovereign capabilities are not entitled free lunch. When I say glass is empty don’t come with glass is 1/5th full. That’s not what’s gonna give sovereignty.
We should see a Sarvam/National Aero engine mission kind of effort happening across all spheres. Until then, the GPUs and servers coming from West is reality. Ppl using Claude and ChatGPT applications enmasse is a reality. India using GE or PW engines for military and Boeing planes for commercial aviation in bulk is a reality. Anyone saying use th US partnership as much as possible is a not a US dalla but one batting to keep the engine going until commensurate investments in India happen and they begin to bear fruit.
On February 9, 2025, the First Edition of LegalTechPolicy.com Playbook was donated and gifted to be included in the Library of the @NFSU_Official.
This book was presented by @IndusThink in a Pre-Summit Event of the AI Impact Summit 2026, organised by NFSU Gandhinagar.

Coming soon, powered by @indicpacific - partly dedicated to @naval :)
Just saying, even healthy skeptics can be true entrepreneurs and pro-AI. :)
And pro-science.

The Indian Society of Artificial Intelligence and Law (@IndianSocietyAI) in collaboration with Data Science and Ai Association of Australia held a highly productive virtual joint dialogue today.
The recording of this session is out now: youtu.be/vtWWYQCAtZA
The Joint Dialogue focused on exploring a fresher perspective in the Indo-Pacific market, especially India, Australia, Japan and the US - from both legal and industrial perspectives.
1️⃣ China's risk appetite and propensity of AI adoption despite being a fragmented market is interesting
2️⃣ Australia and Japan are perhaps the only Indo-Pacific countries who have created coordinated, soft legal and hard legal efforts in governing AI.
3️⃣ AI Safety Research is correlative to many AI diplomacy efforts which kind of is reflective in the US AI Action Plan and some efforts by the India AI Mission, for instance.
Raymond Sun represented as a Director, DSAI Australia while ISAIL was represented by Abhivardhan, the President.
Bogdan Grigorescu and @deepanshuS27 made excellent points on the industry side of things, especially on tech adoption, skilling and foundational models' strategic value.
A lot of serious interventions were made by Francis P. Crawley, CODATA, Sankalp Srivastava, and Bahadur Shah.
Special thanks to Tamonash Pan and Priyanshi Jain for their support as Rapporteurs to this joint dialogue.
You must’ve seen some professionals circulating some National Artificial Intelligence Regulatory Authority bill and a Deepfake bill.
Please note: these were drafted by parliamentarians and not the Union Government (Government of India).

We are proud to also present the JuriAide India E-Courts Manual, authored by @vakeelkapil, Ayush Chandra, and yours truly.
Access the Manual at indicpacific.com/post/indic-…
For the first time in India, we at @IndicPacific are eager to launch, perhaps India's first (or at least most-comprehensive) Legal Technology Manual, exclusively for judicial institutions, and not lawyers.
The reasoning is that lawyers are external stakeholders to judicial infrastructure, despite them being "officers of the Court".
With this, we announce the Re-launch of Juriaide LegalTech as the Legal Technology Division within Indic Pacific Legal Research LLP, under the leadership of Kapil Naresh.
