A momentous morning of conversations on emerging technologies.
@GIS_Impact was honoured to host H.E. @ParmelinG, President of the Swiss Confederation, and a high-level Swiss delegation in New Delhi for a closed-door conversation on opportunities for Indo-Swiss collaboration in a rapidly evolving emerging-technology landscape.
In collaboration with @SwissEmbassyIND, the conversation came at an important moment for Indo–Swiss engagement in emerging technologies—and ahead of Switzerland’s hosting of the Geneva AI Summit 2027, under the theme “Bridging Innovation and Trust.”
We are proud to have hosted this conversation, grateful to the Swiss delegation for joining us, and look forward to building on this engagement in the years ahead.

Pacific Islanders' ancestors were the world's greatest navigators—crossing 30 million square kilometres of ocean using only stars and waves.
Could #AI and a #DigitalPublicInfrastructure (#DPI) approach be the Pacific's new wayfinding tools for the digital age?

Quantum sensing could be one of the first areas of quantum technology to deliver practical applications—from precision navigation to medical diagnosis and military surveillance.
What can quantum technology actually do today, and what remains out of reach? @PrateekTri1990 explores the opportunities and limitations.

Three million mothers. SMS-based access. Human clinical judgement where it matters most.
Jacaranda Health’s PROMPTS service shows how AI can help extend maternal-health support while directing scarce clinical capacity towards urgent cases.
Now operating across all 47 counties in Kenya, the service is also expanding its reach beyond the country.
What will it take to scale this model responsibly?

The AI race may ultimately be less about who builds the most powerful model—and more about who can reorganise fastest around what AI makes abundant.
@matthan’s ORF Special Report, The Absorption Frontier, asks what that reorganisation looks like.

AI diffusion is a buzzword in dialogues, but what does it mean to use AI on ground?
The @GIS_Impact team, alongside @PeoplePlusAI, spent two days in Anand, Gujarat—meeting women smallholder dairy farmers using Amul Sarlaben—an AI advisory platform. They also met with the builders responsible for developing the AI solution associated with @Amul_Coop across Gujarat.
This visit is part of GIS’s ongoing efforts to understand how AI and DPI capabilities translate into impact on ground. Our mission is to document what works, distil lessons from builders and adopters worldwide, and turn those insights into knowledge that can inform AI innovation and adoption elsewhere.
Here are a few glimpses from the trip.

How can India and France build a trusted technology partnership amid different approaches to AI governance, data, and strategic infrastructure?
At the 3rd India–France Track 1.5 Dialogue, held alongside Sagarmanthan: The Great Oceans Dialogue, @Rudra_81 joined the conversation on Building Trusted Tech: France, India, and the Future of AI.
Here’s a small glimpse from the session.

For a pregnant woman unsure whether a symptom signals an emergency, waiting for medical advice can carry serious risks. Reaching a health facility may also mean time, travel, and cost.
In Kenya, how can mothers get timely guidance when clinical support is stretched?
Jacaranda Health’s PROMPTS offers one answer. Explore its story in the Global AI Impact Commons by Aishanya Gupta.

AI safety cannot be left entirely to the companies building the models.
@Rudra_81 makes the case for an Indian AI Safety Institute that can independently evaluate AI systems, build testing capacity and give India the evidence it needs to shape emerging global standards.

What does it take to cross the absorption frontier?
Three things: data AI can read, systems AI can act on, and outputs that can be checked against ground truth.
The third may be the hardest—and the one every sector will have to build for.

Who gets to define what “AI safety” means for the developing world?
In his latest article,@Rudra_81 argues that India has a narrow window to build an AI Safety Institute capable of developing benchmarks and evidence relevant to countries whose languages, markets and risks are often overlooked.

The opportunity is clear: connect Swiss strengths in research and precision technologies with Indian capabilities in engineering, startups and scale—and turn shared interests into practical collaboration.
The Indian perspective was brought forth by experts such as Neeraj Jain, @RGambhir, Reena Dayal, and @Shruti_2192.

Building the Science Foundation | Research needs lasting partnerships
What will science look like in a decade shaped by AI? Prof Dr @TorstenSchwede, @snsf_ch, and Dr Thomas Gfeller, @swissinnova joined Indian experts in examining the future of research, funding and scientific collaboration.
A stronger Indo–Swiss science partnership can help connect research institutions, talent and funding to shared priorities.
