Philosophy Meetup: Mapping the Ethics of Gen AI technology

Silk Road Coffee Company Experience Center, Mumbai, India
In person

We keep hearing the same lines "the future belongs to AI," "AI is inevitable," "adapt or be replaced." This meetup is about understanding the other side of that story. We will be discussing the issues that have resulted from rapid AI development data scraping, job loss, environmental damage, deepfakes, identity theft scams, AI-enabled mass surveillance, and more. And we'll ask what ideal regulation to address these issues might actually look like. The goal is a genuinely productive discussion between two sides those skeptical about the benefits of generative AI and worried about where the future is headed, and those who enjoy using it and remain optimistic. Whether you lean toward one side and want to hear the other, or you're simply curious about the range of perspectives and the reasoning behind them this meetup is for you.

Mumbai | Claude Conversation

Mumbai, India, Mumbai, India
In person

A small room. One big question. What does AI actually mean for how we live, work, and build here? This is a Claude Conversation, India's first. And it's our 9th flagship Claude Community event, the room where India's builders keep showing up to shape what comes next. Not a talk, not a demo. Around 30 of us, some of the brightest minds in the country, in one room, unpacking what AI changes for jobs, education, and civic life, and where the real opportunities are. Who we're looking for India's brightest minds: builders, educators, students, people working in or around public systems, and anyone genuinely thinking about where this goes next. You don't need to be technical. You need to have something to say. What we'll do Split into focused conversations around the questions that matter most: How AI reshapes the jobs of the next decade, and who's ready for them What it means for how we teach and learn Where it can strengthen civic life We'll share where AI is already helping, and surface the gaps worth solving. Why it matters This is the first half. The problems we land on here become the brief for an Impact Lab, a build day where we turn one of them into something real and deployable. This is where the conversation becomes the blueprint. Come shape what we build next. Hosted by Sumeet Doshi, India's first Claude Community Ambassador.
