Much of the global AI conversation has centered on 鈥渄igital empires:鈥 the United States, China, and the EU. While these actors are undeniably important, a majority of real-world AI use and experimentation is taking place outside of these superpowers. Middle-income countries鈥攆rom India to Brazil and from Indonesia to Rwanda鈥攁re seeking their own pathways, as sites of innovation; experimentation; and cost effective, high-impact deployment. By bridging silos across these regions and different sectors, The Shangri La Series grounds global AI so that people, regardless of where they live, benefit from the technology.聽
