Championing Inclusion in AI Design and Deployment
With AI transforming every aspect of society—from healthcare to education and financial services—Dr Khanna emphasized the critical importance of building inclusive ecosystems.

Key Takeaways from Dr Khanna’s Talk:
- Human-Centric AI: Technology must be developed and deployed with a strong focus on human values, accessibility, and societal well-being.
- Diverse Data Sets: Inclusive innovation begins with training algorithms on representative data that accounts for gender, ethnicity, and age variations.

Driving Digital Equity Across Asia
Dr Khanna’s session also explored how Asian businesses can lead the way in developing AI solutions that are ethical and scalable. She encouraged Malaysian enterprises to consider AI not just as a tool for efficiency, but also as a catalyst for social progress.
“If we embed inclusivity into AI from the outset,” Dr Khanna noted, “we don’t just build better technology — we build better futures.”
