Vikas Gupta is a policy commentator and rights advocate whose work centres on the people a system prefers not to count. An alumnus of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, he writes and speaks on public policy, economic opportunity, and the institutions that shape young lives.
He works on the governance of artificial intelligence and on making new technology inclusive rather than extractive — convinced that the same questions of fairness and access run through the job market and the algorithm alike.
