This project seeks to support responsible AI deployment in public service delivery by contextualising ethical principles and existing AI governance guidelines into a practical and accessible fitness check which key decision-makers in government can use to mitigate potential harms before AI deployment.

Critical Minerals have rising importance as the building blocks for the digital age and technologies which power the green transition. This project unpacks critical minerals policy in Australia and India to take a 360-degree view spanning geopolitics and security, economics and markets, and climate and sustainability to provide policy recommendations for stakeholders across the bilateral and multilateral relationship.​

Conducted as part of the Maitri Fellowship of the Center for Australia-India Relations, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Australia, this project is located at the intersection of tech, geopolitics and practitioner-focussed policymaking.

India requires a multi-pronged, security-focused policy approach in both its domestic and foreign policy to create more resilient, trusted supply chains for minerals, as well as build domestic capacity. This brief aims to provide short, medium and long-term policy options that the Indian government can undertake to mitigate supply chain disruptions, build resilience and develop sovereign capabilities.

'India Semiconductor Report: State of Play' report attempts to provide an analytical overview of the current state of India’s semiconductor industry. It examines the strategic drivers underpinning the Government of India’s semiconductor push, outlines key industrial policy interventions and offers a detailed assessment of projects across the semiconductor value chain across fabrication, packaging, ancillaries, design capabilities and skilled workforce availability. By systematically mapping key projects, investment patterns, and implementation timelines, the report identifies which segments of the semiconductor value chain are gaining traction, where progress is uneven, and where structural bottlenecks persist.

This integrated “state of play” analysis offers a granular understanding of the rapid but uneven growth of India’s semiconductor ecosystem.

This project seeks to engage with the complex questions around DPI governance to provide recommendations for safe and responsible governance frameworks and guardrails that can accompany DPI deployments in developing countries worldwide.
