G42 and Cerebras, in partnership with MBZUAI and C-DAC, will deploy an 8 exaflop AI supercomputer in India. The system will operate under India's governance frameworks, with all data remaining within national jurisdiction to meet sovereign security and compliance requirements. The supercomputer will be accessible to Indian researchers, startups, and government entities under the India AI Mission.

This paper proposes a framework for understanding AI sovereignty as a balance between autonomy and interdependence, considering global data, supply chains, and standards. It introduces a planner's model with policy heuristics for equalizing marginal returns across sovereignty pillars and setting openness. The model is applied to India and the Middle East (Saudi Arabia and UAE), finding that managed interdependence, rather than isolation, is key for AI sovereignty.

This paper introduces an explainable machine learning framework for early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) screening, specifically designed for low-resource settings in Bangladesh and South Asia. The framework utilizes a community-based dataset from Bangladesh and evaluates multiple ML classifiers with feature selection techniques. Results show that the ML models achieve high accuracy and sensitivity, outperforming existing screening tools and demonstrating strong generalizability across independent datasets from India, the UAE, and Bangladesh.

A study investigated language shift from Tibetan to Arabic among Tibetan families who migrated to Saudi Arabia 70 years ago. Data from 96 participants across three age groups revealed significant intergenerational differences in language use. Younger members rarely used Tibetan, while older members used it slightly more, with a p-value of .001 indicating statistical significance.
