Tech Mahindra Managing Director and CEO Mohit Joshi\u00a0on Wednesday urged global leaders to abandon short-term procurement mindsets in favour of “sovereign” digital systems.\u00a0<\/p>
During a panel at the World Governments Summit in Dubai, moderated by Geeta Mohan, Senior Executive Editor, Foreign Affairs, India Today Group,\u00a0Joshi argued that the success of national digital infrastructure depends on a fundamental shift in commercial and ethical philosophy.<\/p>
“If your total ambition for AI is to be able to, you know, get rid of a few contact centre jobs or to improve developer productivity, people are really missing the picture,” he said.<\/p>
Instead, he proposed a far more transformational metric for success: \u201cThe objective of AI, for instance, should be: how can we provide everybody a truly world-class healthcare service for $10 a month?\u201d He warned that unless this broader aspiration is spelt out, the public may view the technology as a threat to their livelihoods rather than a benefit.<\/p>
Central to Joshi\u2019s vision is the concept of “sovereign digital infrastructure” that empowers the individual. He advocated for a data model where \u201cthe individual has ownership of the data,\u201d allowing them to share records transactionally and then \u201cbe able to withdraw it back once our transaction is complete.\u201d This architecture, he noted, is essential for building trust, which he described as a \u201ccentral determinant\u201d of business success that is \u201cearned over a long period of time but unfortunately can be lost rather quickly.\u201d<\/p>
To achieve this, Joshi highlighted the importance of linguistic inclusivity. He noted that while most models are in English, Tech Mahindra has developed “Indus,” a model covering \u201cabout 27 dialects in Hindi,\u201d to ensure that \u201cthe fruits of this technology go to everyone.\u201d<\/p>
Kaan Terzio\u011flu, CEO of VEON, echoed the need for this “policy level” ambition. He cited the example of Ukraine, where VEON integrated terrestrial networks with satellite platforms so that \u201cevery single person with a 4G enabled phone can directly connect to a satellite.\u201d Terzio\u011flu argued that such partnerships are vital because \u201csovereign AI has become an agenda item in all the policies of the governments.\u201d<\/p>
Joshi concluded by noting that while the Global South faces a risk of missing the bus, the \u201ccycle of adoption is speeding up very dramatically.\u201d He urged governments to focus on creating \u201cgovernance guardrails\u201d that allow technology to serve as a \u201ctransformational\u201d utility for all.<\/p> <\/div>
