The BAIF Essay Series
The Essay Series publishes considered, readable arguments on AI and public life in India. Each essay takes one question and works through it properly.
Our authors include researchers, serving and retired civil servants, technologists, lawyers, and practitioners from the field. Essays are written for a thoughtful general reader. A district collector, a policy student, and a startup founder should all be able to follow the argument.
