Countries of the Global South account for around 85% of the world’s population and are expected to drive much of its future growth. Yet, today’s AI systems are still shaped largely by data, benchmarks, and institutions in the Global North.

At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, #MBZUAI Professor Monojit Choudhury presented a roadmap for a more inclusive future: "AI for the Global South: 12 Critical Research Questions for the Next Decade". The report, developed alongside 40+ international experts, identifies 12 urgent research priorities spanning language access, governance, infrastructure, labor markets, and sovereign AI.

These findings are the outcome of the AI for the Global South conference held at MBZUAI - a key lead-up event to the Summit - co-organized by IIT Delhi - Abu Dhabi, and co-chaired by Sunayana Sitaram of Microsoft Research.
