Naavi.org is pleased to announce that it has proposed setting up of an academic chair in association with FDPPI on AI. The activities will involve effective application of AI in the field of Privacy and Data Protection.
A note on the proposal is available here: Note on proposed FDPPI Chair. A research report on the status of AI in India as gathered from public resources is also enclosed for information.
In the light of these developments, Ujvala Consultants Pvt Ltd which is already a patron member of FDPPI and Naavi has proposed setting up of an Academic Chair in FDPPI to focus on the activities related to AI in Privacy inparticular.
The Chair will undertake Research and analysis, create awareness and Education, besides engaging in Policy advocacy. It will also establish collaboration with other academic organizations,, NGOs and like minded individuals and business entities.
The Chair may involve in activities such as webinars, workshops, training sessions and publication of reports as may be required.
The “AI Chair” will be led by Naavi who will be paid an honorarium from Ujvala Consultants Pvt Ltd. The Chair will also welcome further funding support from other organizations as may be required on case to case basis.
You may watch out for more information on this project and volunteer to contribute to this project.
As a part of this project, Naavi.org has introduced an AI Assistant “Vishy” to assist Naavi as we go forward. Since the entire activities of the Chair at present will be virtual, Vishy will also be a “Virtual Assistant to Naavi”. Vishy is today a supporting assistant to Naavi and may eventually grow into a sophisticated independent AI agent by himself. Apart of Vishy is available in the “Perplexity site search” facility already available at www.naavi.org. I look forward to the support of AI start ups particularly those in Bengaluru to support me in this endeavour.
