ABOUT

The Amrita’s AI Safety Research Lab brings together experts from academia, industry, and government to deliberate on building responsible AI ecosystems that ensure fairness, accountability, and transparency.

Discussions will revolve around the key themes of AI for People, Planet & Progress, Accountability in Action, Bridging the AI Divide, Trust by Design, and Human–AI Collaboration—each addressing the need for responsible and equitable AI ecosystems.

Through keynotes, expert panels, and tool demonstrations, the event aims to generate actionable recommendations and collaborative models that strengthen national and regional AI readiness. It will explore strategies for establishing measurable pathways toward trustworthy innovation, fostering inclusive governance standards, and enabling the Global South to play a defining role in the evolution of AI policy and practice.

We have several Industry, Government and Academic leaders as speakers to this event.

Research on AI Safety and Responsible AI

The integration of Artificial Intelligence into every facet of human life demands a global commitment to AI Safety and Responsible AI (RAI). Achieving sustainable progress requires a collaborative approach that addresses the ethical, legal, and social dimensions of advanced systems.

The core challenge is clear: to move beyond theoretical discussions and create practical, trustworthy, and auditable AI solutions that promote human flourishing while safeguarding fairness, privacy, and security. This summit provides a vital platform to explore these imperatives and foster actionable dialogue.

Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham stands at the forefront of research in AI Safety and RAI, confronting the ethical, societal, and technological challenges of AI through a multidisciplinary lens. Our initiatives span critical domains, including healthcare, education, cybersecurity, governance, and sustainability, aligning closely with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Key research themes are:

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) & Alignment

Ethics in AI Design and Deployment

AI Literacy & Education

Privacy Protection & Data Governance

Misinformation & Disinformation Management

Equity, Inclusion & Fairness in AI

Legal, Environmental & Sustainable AI

Trustworthy & Auditable AI Systems
