Chief Advisor to the President of Sri Lanka on Digital Economy and Special Envoy to the UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance.
Collective action must ensure that Smaller and lower income nations have access to a minimum level of Sovereign AI, so that they can localise AI, without being forced to compromise Privacy, Policy Autonomy or national resilience. Our goal must go beyond simply making information available. It should be to ensure that every person can understand and benefit from information, regardless of language, abilities, or the opportunities into which they were born.
