[19:33] – Do you think there is going to be a realization of India’s rich history?
- It is about rediscovery.
- Culture includes these symbols, values, artifacts that make us think of who we are.
- Sometimes, we arrest them in static sort of imaginary, that there is something very static about culture.
- But cultures are really malleable.
- Cultures take on global influences, and change.
- Strangers bring in ideas to a civilization that were not there, and they grow over time.
- Indian culture has lots of influences that came from the 20th century onwards.
- Cultures, though take on local character, but they also have these international dimensions.
[34:31] – What do you hope to achieve through the Minerva program?
- It was a way for the US’s Department of Defense to bring in social scientists to think about broad security questions.
- It was a way of engaging the social scientists with more technical teams, that I had been traditionally involved in DOD.
- In the beginning, there was a slight reticence on the part of social scientists to collaborate with the Department of Defense.
- We have a natural language processing person or machine learning person along with graduate students who are receiving this training.
- Our idea was to look at the determinants of these national AI infrastructures.
- OECD has a repository of countries that have announced national level AI policies, oftentimes as documents that have come about from these countries.
- These documents also serve as international strategies.
