    India's PLI scheme - is it working?

    Join Miheer Karandikar and Arindam Goswami in this episode of All Things Policy, in which we unpack a scheme that was touted as a game-changer in India's industrial landscape—the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme. Launched to position India as a global manufacturing hub, these schemes aim to boost domestic production, attract investments, and reduce import dependencies. But is the PLI strategy delivering on its promises? Are there hidden costs or unintended consequences we need to consider? Join us as we unravel the complexities of PLI schemes and explore how these incentives are reshaping industries and India's economic trajectory. Miheer has written a wonderful op-ed in this topic, which you can read here: https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/opinion/india-s-pli-scheme-challenges-and-the-path-forward-12904755.html All Things Policy is a daily podcast on public policy brought to you by the Takshashila Institution, Bengaluru. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Find out more on our research and other work here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://takshashila.org.in/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Check out our public policy courses here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://school.takshashila.org.in

    AI on the Battlefield: The Future of Military Power

    The nature of warfare is rapidly evolving with advancements in technology. In this episode of All Things Policy, Avinash Shet and Adya Madhavan explore how Artificial Intelligence is shaping the military domain. From autonomous drones to predictive maintenance systems and lethal autonomous weapons, we unpack the transformative role AI plays on and off the battlefield. Join us as we discuss key global players in the AI arms race, the interplay between civilian and military AI technologies, and the unintended consequences of militarising AI. We also take a closer look at India's military AI and what lies ahead in the race for dominance.

    AI-led Predictive Policing: Safety or Illusion?

    Predictive policing is an AI use case in law enforcement wherein biometric technologies are used to “predict” crimes. There has been a considerable increase in deployment of such technologies across countries in the past decade and these are thought to be a way to reduce crime. However, while its effectiveness is debatable, increased surveillance and reduced privacy for all citizens is an immediate outcome which brings with it additional risks. In this episode, Anwesha Sen speaks to Disha Verma about how these technologies are being deployed in India and their various pitfalls. All Things Policy is a daily podcast on public policy brought to you by the Takshashila Institution, Bengaluru. The Takshashila Institution has designed the 'Technopolitik: A Technology Geopolitics Survey' to understand and assess what people think about how India should navigate high-tech geopolitics.
