Discussions at Swiss Internet Governance Forum 2024
Ayisha Piotti participated in the panel on "Transfer of digital skills within private and public organizations and continuing education" where she contributed to discussions around the challenges in skill enhancement and explored the suggestions and recommendations.
Selected recommendations in this panel were:
- Acquiring technical skills is not always absolutely necessary. It is important to ensure that citizens understand the challenges of the technologies used;
- Speeding up the digitisation of the state while ensuring lifelong learning offered by existing institutions, i.e., schools, universities, and public libraries are important.

Understanding the AI Policy Landscape in India
Our Managing Partner traveled across India in early 2024, attending various round table conferences and closed room discussions with Government officials, private sectors, and academia in New Delhi, Jaipur, Mumbai and Bengaluru. In addition to these valuable exchanges, she also delivered a keynote speech at the AI and Privacy Policy Summit 2024 at Manipal Law School, in Bengaluru, India.
We were pleased to have the opportunity to visit the Delhi High Court premises where we were taken through the state of the art digitisation in the judicial system. The digitization steps taken in the Indian judiciary and its positive impact on the delivery of justice, higher transparency, and reduction in corruption were noteworthy. Within a country as massive and diverse as India, hybrid court set-ups increase interoperability and reduce costs, thus making justice more accessible for one and all.
