\n \u201cSo, if I have got it correct, Responsible AI aims for an AI system which is trustworthy, unbiased, transparent, secured and respects data privacy,\u201d Ronnie sums it up.<\/em>

– An excerpt from my book, Are You Born with AI?<\/em> <\/p>\n

\n Drawing parallels: Generation Alpha and AI <\/h3>\n

\n As a 7-year-old, I find analogies to be an important part of my learning journey. These help me draw parallels and connect ideas. For example, I have found an analogy between Artificial Intelligence and Generation Alpha<\/strong>. We are slowly being asked by our parents and teachers to be more responsible in our daily tasks, like completing school assignments and timely submission of projects. We\u2019ve been told the habits we develop now form our lifelong human value system. Our ethics as well are learned from our parents and mentors and shaped by our perspectives and experiences.

Building a Responsible AI ecosystem is, to me, no different from raising a future-ready generation. The current AI builders are the architects of the future of AI for the goodness of humanity. <\/strong>What they put into the systems is what society will get out of it. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n

\n The risks of getting it wrong <\/h3>\n

\n And AI is not just a computer system. We are dealing with models that are self-learning and self-evolving too. This makes me think that even a few wrong moves now from humans in training these AI systems can make the future of my generation completely different. The governance and policies around Responsible AI matter to me, and I urge AI leaders that it should continue to matter to them too, for our generation and our future.

The biggest risk if AI is not managed responsibly is that we may end up empowering the bad and weakening the good.<\/strong> I feel AI is like a tiger cub, where all of us can find it to be playful and a companion, with LLM platforms helping us all in productivity tasks and Gen AI tools painting our images. But as the cub grows, the ethics we build into it now will decide whether it becomes a tiger that races along with us as a leader for a better enabled society, or a predator that turns against us through warfare, cyber-attacks or echo chamber divides.

While there are risks and apprehensions around AI, I have\u00a0hopes and dreams of AI impacting the UN Sustainable Development Goals positively<\/strong>\u00a0through healthcare, education, smart- cities, and agriculture. Sitting in that big hall of the UN General Assembly during the Summit of the Future in\u00a02025, and now experiencing the deep focus on digital inclusion from ITU leadership and Her Excellency, the Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin, at the AI for Good Global Summit 2025 in Geneva, I wish to assure all my friends that our voice matters. We can leave an impact and be the change to build AI for good. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n How can my generation contribute? <\/h3>\n

\n First, <\/strong>we should commit to being lifelong learners and upskilling ourselves every day. For those in my generation, I would encourage you to try your hands on modelling AI to be unbiased and responsible, say, by fixing lack of data diversity and biased learning data. Little Language Model by MIT Media Labs and similar platforms are some of the tools being developed for us.

Second,<\/strong> we should spread awareness about Responsible AI, just as I have tried in my humble ways, impacting young students across geographies through my authored book and by travelling to schools and organisations talking about it. <\/p>\n

\n A shared hope for the future <\/h3>\n

\n While we all imagine a better future with Responsible AI, I would simply say: let\u2019s all be responsible now for a better future with AI!

Seven decades set us apart in age, but I live with the same hope as Geoffrey Hinton, a pioneering AI scientist often called the \u201cGodfather of AI,\u201d who recently said:

If enough smart people, do enough research, with enough resources, we will figure out a way to build \u201cthem\u201d so they will never want to harm us.<\/em>

<\/p>\n

\n And I want my generation to be the ethical AI drivers of that \u2018enough\u2019! <\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
