Artificial Intelligence and the Rewriting of Work: From Labour Arbitrage to Outcome Economies (Experts from AI Summit)
Historical Context: From Labour-Intensive Growth to Intelligent Automation Every major technological shift has redefined the meaning of work. The Industrial Revolution displaced artisans but created factory systems; the computer age reduced clerical burdens but expanded services and global trade. Artificial intelligence represents a more profound rupture. Unlike previous waves of…

Health Innovation in the 21st Century: Why a Multi-Stakeholder Model Is No Longer Optional
Health innovation has always advanced at the intersection of science, policy, and society. From the eradication of smallpox through coordinated vaccination drives to the rapid development of mRNA vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic, progress has rarely been the product of a single profession or institution. Instead, it has emerged from…

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in Semiconductor Innovation: From Performance Race to Power Discipline
The semiconductor industry has historically been defined by a relentless pursuit of performance. From the early days of integrated circuits to the exponential scaling described by Moore’s Law, the primary objective was simple: more transistors, more speed, more capability. Yet as we enter a new technological era shaped by artificial…

The Age Beyond Limits: How Humanoid Robots and Autonomous Systems Redefine the Global Economy
Human civilisation has always grown by expanding the productivity of each individual. From the plough to the steam engine, from electricity to computers, every great economic leap has followed an expansion in what a single human can produce within a unit of time. Today, we stand at the threshold of…

Evolving Dark Offices: When Workplaces No Longer Need Light
The idea of the dark office—a workplace that functions with little or no human presence—marks a quiet but profound shift in the history of work. Much like the “lights-out factories” of the late twentieth century, dark offices are not about darkness as absence, but about automation as presence. Tasks once…

Can India Lead the Global AI Race?
The question of whether India can lead the global artificial intelligence race is no longer speculative—it is structural. History shows that technological leadership does not emerge merely from invention, but from the ability to combine talent, capital, policy, and scale into a self-reinforcing system. AI today sits at a similar…
