Welcome

As artificial intelligence continues to shape the world, the need for ethical frameworks and effective governance has never been more critical. This session explores how AI can be designed, developed, and deployed responsibly to drive meaningful social impact. From addressing bias and ensuring transparency to building inclusive systems that serve vulnerable communities, we’ll examine the intersection of ethics, policy, and innovation. Join thought leaders, policymakers, and technologists in a deep dive into the challenges and opportunities of aligning AI capabilities with the broader goals of equity, justice, and human well-being. Together, we’ll move from code to compassion—shaping AI that not only works but works for good.

From Code to Compassion: Ethics and Governance in AI for Social Good

I would love the opportunity to conduct an engaging and practical session for your students. My session will cover two key areas:

1. Building AI Agents Using Low-Code AI Tools

A live demo where students learn to design, build, and deploy AI-driven workflows using no-code/low-code platforms.

Focus on practical applications, innovation, and employable skills.

2. Using AI Tools for Communication & Presentation Excellence

How students can harness various AI tools to enhance presentation skills, structure impactful communication, and create engaging content.

Includes live demonstrations of AI-powered tools and real-world use cases.

My aim is to provide students with practical skills, industry insights, and a forward-looking perspective on how AI is shaping careers and the workplace. Sessions can be delivered on campus or virtually and can be tailored to fit your schedule.

Low-Code Meets AI - Use Microsoft Copilot Studio to Build Smart Business Workflows

Copilot experiences are quickly becoming the new standard for productivity and innovation—but what if you want to go beyond the out-of-box features? In this session, we’ll explore the full spectrum of options available to organizations and developers who want to build their own Copilots.

We’ll start with Microsoft 365 Copilot, highlighting what’s available out-of-the-box. From there, we’ll look at how to extend capabilities with Declarative Agents, leverage Azure AI Foundry to build and orchestrate AI models, and use the Power Platform to design tailored Copilot experiences without heavy coding. Finally, we’ll dive into Semantic Kernel, a powerful framework for building advanced agentic workflows that integrate seamlessly with your apps and data.

By the end of this session, you’ll have a clear understanding of the “build vs. buy vs. extend” landscape, and practical guidance on choosing the right path to deliver intelligent, context-aware Copilot solutions for your business.

Building Your Own Copilot: From Microsoft 365 to Custom Agents

As a Microsoft MVP in AI and a global startup mentor, I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of founders worldwide—many of them incredible women breaking into AI, deeptech, and entrepreneurship. This session explores how male mentors and leaders can play an active role in accelerating women’s careers in tech, not just as allies but as intentional enablers of opportunity.

Through real-world stories and frameworks drawn from mentoring programs like ADP List, Omdena, and Microsoft’s global community, I’ll share how to identify bias, build inclusive startup ecosystems, and support women through funding, speaking platforms, and AI education. We'll also discuss the hidden biases baked into GenAI tools, hiring algorithms, and developer culture, and how men can use their privilege to challenge the status quo and amplify underrepresented voices.

This session is for mentors, community builders, and tech leaders who want to create a more equitable tech world—starting now.

In today’s rapid changing world, digital governance is no longer a choice but a necessity. By leveraging technology and AI, governments can make public services more efficient, transparent, and inclusive building trust between citizens and institutions while unlocking smarter pathways for urban growth. 

This session will focus on why digital governance is becoming central to good governance in the 21st century, and how AI is accelerating this transformation through data driven decision making, predictive management, and streamlined service delivery.

Showcased at the heart of this discussion is the Indore Municipal Corporation’s pioneering journey from QR enabled civic services and AI supported grievance systems to chatbot interfaces. These initiatives demonstrate how digital governance can strengthen accountability and set benchmarks for other Indian cities. Situating Indore’s progress within a wider global conversation, the session will also compare its achievements with leading governance models in countries such as Russia, Singapore, Japan, and Dubai.

By blending local innovation with global context, this dialogue will underline the critical importance of digital governance as a driver of transparency, inclusivity, and citizen empowerment while also exploring the challenges, responsibilities, and opportunities of scaling AI in governance.

In the Age of AI, do Humans Still Matter?

Artificial Intelligence is no longer science fiction — it’s in our workplaces, our homes, and even in the decisions that affect our lives. From ChatGPT answering questions in seconds to AI-driven tools shaping healthcare, finance, and education, the technology is advancing at a breathtaking pace. But as machines become smarter, faster, and more capable, one question becomes central to our time:

In the Age of AI, do Humans Still Matter?

This is the theme of our AI Maitri panel discussion on “AI and Human-in-the-Loop.”

The idea of Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) is simple but profound: while AI can process data, automate tasks, and scale decisions, humans bring something AI cannot — judgment, empathy, creativity, and accountability. Together, humans and AI can achieve far more than either could alone.

In this panel, we bring together a diverse group to explore:

· Why human oversight is crucial for building trust and fairness in AI

· How Human-in-the-Loop enables responsible innovation for businesses and society

· The new opportunities this balance opens for students, professionals, and future founders

· Whether the future of AI is about replacement… or collaboration

This discussion isn’t just about technology — it’s about our role in shaping the future. For students, it’s about the skills and mindset that will matter most in an AI-powered world. For professionals, it’s about staying relevant and leading responsibly. For founders, it’s about building businesses that combine the best of human insight and machine intelligence.

Join us at AI Maitri as we unpack one of the most important questions of our time: In the Age of AI, do Humans Still Matter?
