The Institute for Human Flourishing (IHF), an India-headquartered research and policy lab aimed at ensuring artificial intelligence (AI) creates economic opportunities for workers, was launched on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly week.
Founded by entrepreneur Ravi Venkatesan and led by Chief  Executive Officer Urvashi Aneja, the initiative is backed by The Rockefeller Foundation and Schmidt Philanthropies, and has received formal endorsement from the Government of India's Expert Group on Human Flourishing.
Welcoming the initiative, MeitY Secretary S Krishnan said, "India's approach to AI has been anchored in inclusion-technology as a public good that expands opportunity for all. Building rigorous evidence on how AI can strengthen livelihoods, particularly in the informal economy, complements the government's efforts under the IndiaAI Mission."

Researchers at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi have designed country's first working, demonstrable indigenous micro Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), in a significant development that can reduce import dependence to a large extent, officials said on Thursday.
According to officials, GPUs are widely used in modern hardware, including in AI and Machine Learning engines. Currently, all GPUs are imported.
This is the first working, demonstrable indigenously designed micro-GPU from India, they said.
The micro-GPU architecture developed by IIT Delhi researchers will enable indigenous graphics and display-processing systems for embedded applications.
The researchers at the institute's Electrical Engineering department have demonstrated programmable graphics rendering using a custom floating point GPU engine implemented entirely in Register Transfer Language (RTL) and mapped to a Spartan-7 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platform.
"The hardware architecture is a scalable
