Cui Bono? "Empowered"
Empowerment — a very frequently spoken, or used, word, yet hardly understood. The moment you dig one layer deeper, the empowerment of "empowered women" starts to unravel.

Always an engineering student, occasionally a writer when something won't leave me alone. I don't think the best of us has shown up yet — not in technology, not as a species. I build things and write things while I wait.

Responsible AI
R stands for Responsible. Not cautious — responsible. AI is a tool, the way a lathe or a ledger is a tool. What matters is the hand that holds it and the purpose it serves. I believe AI should extend what individuals can do — not replace their judgment, not harvest their attention, not concentrate power in fewer hands. A farmer who can ask a question and get a straight answer. A librarian in a village of four hundred people who can find any book in thirty seconds. That is the AI worth building.
There is something larger taking shape here. It does not have a name yet. This site is part of it — and so are you, if you are reading this.

ये कशमकश, ये आग़ाज़, ये बेखुदी, ये मिज़ाज़
तस्सवुर के ये सिलसिले, गुमसुम से अल्फ़ाज़
वो ख़्वाबों की अठखेलियाँ, तन्हाई की परवाज़
ये बेचैन शबें، और..... वो माज़ी की आवाज़
