The Three Sutras
People
The people sutra embodies the fundamental principle that AI must servehumanity in all its diversity, respecting cultural identities, preserving human dignity, and ensuring that no one is left behind in the AI revolution. This sutra aims to ensure that AI development prioritizes human-centered outcomes across three fundamental dimensions: fostering human development in an AI-enabled world; advancing inclusivity through multilingual, gender-equitable, accessible, and culturally contextualized AI systems; and establishing robust frameworks for safe and trusted AI deployment. This sutra is grounded in the principle that AI must serve diverse human needs while upholding the highest standards of safety, trust, and inclusive participation.
Planet
The planetsutra is grounded in the dual imperative of making AI development and deployment more resourceefficient, while at the same time leveraging AI capabilities to accelerate climate resilience, environmental protection, and breakthrough scientific discoveries.It recognizes that AI is expanding the frontiers of how we interpret, interact with, and ultimately influence the biological systems that sustain humanity. This Sutra embodies the principle that technological advancement must align with planetary stewardship, ensuring that AI contributes to rather than compromises global sustainability goals.
Progress
The progress sutra focuses on ensuring that the benefits of AI are equitably distributed, closely aligned with global development priorities, and strategically leveraged to enhance economic productivity and inclusive growth. It seeks to bridge the digital and AI divide by democratizing access to critical AI resources, such as datasets, computational infrastructure, and advanced models. This sutra also emphasizes the application of AI to accelerate socio-economic development across key sectors, including healthcare, education, governance, and agriculture.
