My parents were mocked for their Indian accents in 1970s Britain.
Years later in America, my British accent became a privilege.
I write about this painful irony which I discussed on a recent @NAAAPNewYork panel

One day we’ll wake up and ask why we talk about geopolitics in the boardroom and in our scenario plans and investor calls.
However we dare not even bring this up with our employees. We have gone from listening to deafening silence on war, hate crimes, immigration, racism.

Last week I joined a roundtable on AI democratization.
One thing keeps circling in my mind: we all agree critical thinking is THE skill for the AI era.
But critical thinking in English ≠ critical thinking in Hindi ≠ critical thinking in Mandarin or Japanese.

By now, most people interested in AI have seen the @mit headline: “95% of AI projects fail.”
The report highlights that only 5% of pilots delivered measurable returns at scale, this doesn’t necessarily indicate widespread failure.
