Transformation Through Cyber Innovation: The Great Indian Technological Leap
As the world becomes increasingly digital, both the greatest opportunities and the biggest threats emanate from the digital and technological space.

As the world becomes increasingly digital, both the greatest opportunities and the biggest threats emanate from the digital and technological space. Technology centrality is central to both governance and economic growth, and India’s experiences with placing ‘digital’ at the core of its growth story could be a potential game-changer in the region and beyond. As innovation becomes the buzzword around which economies of the future are conceptualised, what India says and does in the cyberspace domain has profound implications for the entire world, and particularly the IndoPacific region.
This chapter was originally published by the Perth USAsia Center.

- The Disruptive Politics of AIResearch
AI technology has proliferated extensively and offers authoritarian leaders three crucial advantages: scale, speed, and efficiency. As a result, it has undoubtedly become a crucial tool of repression. But AI tools also give individuals and activists the means to organize, resist, and hold their governments accountable. Today, it is far more difficult for autocratic leaders to hide their corrupt practices and govern in darkness.
