AI-Naama Sat, 26 Sep 2026 09:41:37 -0400 https://www.buzzsprout.com/2629969 en-us © 2026 AI-Naama yes 4b0d5515-434b-54e3-a473-8f64de3ccf5b Wadhwani AI episodic false Wadhwani AI was founded on the conviction that technology must serve the underserved. AI-Naama — meaning "a register of AI" or "an account of AI" in Urdu and Hindi — extends that mission into the public sphere. It is a podcast series by Wadhwani AI that brings rigorous, accessible discourse about AI and subsequent digital public goods to a broad public audience.


AI systems are increasingly shaping consequential decisions in health, agriculture, education, credit, and governance – potentially in ways that could be opaque, inequitable, or unaccountable. These risks are especially acute in the Global South, where regulatory frameworks are nascent, affected communities are underrepresented in the design of these systems, and the stakes of getting AI wrong are highest.


AI-Naama convenes government, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and civil society voices to examine what responsible, ethical AI actually looks like in practice - not as an abstract ideal, but as a contested, urgent, and evolving project.

In this episode of AI-Naama, a podcast by Wadhwani AI, host Nishtha Gorke is joined by Aastha Kapoor, co-founder and director of Aapti Institute, to discuss data privacy, data governance, and the future of AI in India. Platforms don't see you as an individual — they target you as part of a community, based on gender, location, and behaviour. So why do data protection laws only protect you as one? Kapoor and Gorke explore community-led data governance, data rights, and data sovereignty — from cooperatives and parent groups to resident welfare associations — and unpack the risks of India's AI adoption outpacing its ability to govern data fairly and equitably.
