Centre for Communication Governance

The 2027 AI Summit presents an important opportunity to shape more inclusive and accountable AI governance. On 6 May, the MAP-AI initiative, led by the Global Network Initiative and Centre for Communication Governance, convened stakeholders from five regions to discuss multistakeholder roles in AI Safety Summits, co-hosted with Federal Office of Communications OFCOM. Participants highlighted the need for: • Human rights-centred governance • Meaningful Global Majority participation • Stronger accountability mechanisms • Better coordination across AI governance processes Read the reflections: https://lnkd.in/e-jMSXHS

From chatbots to search engines, Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly shaping how we interact with information online. Significant questions arise with the advent of LLMs -- ChatGPT, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Claude -- right from their training stage to their deployment. From the use of copyrighted material in training datasets to outputs that may reproduce bias, hallucinations, plagiarism, or lack contextual understanding. Concerns have also been raised around transparency, environmental impact, and emotional dependency on AI systems. #CCG #TechPolicy #CCGexplains #VocabMondays [Tech policy, tech governance, Artificial Intelligence, AI, LLMs, Large Language Models, ChatGPT, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Claude, internet governance, CCG Explains, terms used in tech policy ]

India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) — often cited as a prominent example of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) — has been a building block for private players like Paytm and Google Pay to build upon. DPI infrastructures built on open-source technologies can allow adoptability and adaptability of one country’s DPI to other geographies. Like any public infrastructure, DPI systems aim to be a 'common' good that could lead towards welfare and even moving towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These systems are supposed to be designed with emphasis on key principles of security, privacy and consent. Notwithstanding, questions around data sharing, the role of foreign technology companies, and concerns related to state surveillance continue to shape discussions on DPI. Tech policy can be a tough nut to crack, but we at CCG strive to make it more accessible.

Built on distributed ledger technology, it allows real-time access, validation, and recording of information across multiple entities and locations. While Bitcoin and Ethereum remain its most well-known implementations, blockchain's applications extend well beyond cryptocurrency into areas like land records, digital identity, healthcare, supply chains, and food security. By 2022, the blockchain ecosystem in India and Australia was still emerging, with most activity concentrated in small and medium-sized industry players and limited participation from government, academia, and civil society. Fewer than 20% of mapped stakeholders demonstrated any meaningful commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Data portability gives individuals greater control over their personal data by allowing them to move, copy, or transfer it across different digital platforms and services. Recognised under Article 20 of the GDPR, this right promotes transparency, enhances user convenience, and reduces vendor lock-in.

Due to historical under-representation and invisibilisation of many communities, especially from the Global Majority, AI systems embed and perpetuate biases while extracting data from these regions without an equitable distribution of benefits. As stakeholders continue to engage with the #UNGD, here are a few priorities for global AI governance that the MAP AI community has emphasised from the perspective of the Global Majority. #UNGD #MAPAI #internetgovernance Centre for Communication Governance National Law University, Delhi Global Network Initiative Palash Srivastava Sukriti .
