MUMBAI: 27 April, 2026: The Hon’ble Governor of Maharashtra, Shri Jishnu Dev Varma, released the AI Governance Report 2026 by O.P. Jindal Global University in Mumbai. “I congratulate the Cyril Shroff Centre for AI, Law & Regulation (at O.P. Jindal Global University), where members of industry and public institutions have come together in a spirit of shared values. Such seminars demonstrate how innovation and partnerships can lead to impactful solutions,” the Hon’ble Governor of Maharashtra, Shri Jishnu Dev Varma said.
“Today, we are talking about AI in governance, and I would like to stress the importance of when we bring about change. This is the age of research as we are heading towards Viksit Bharat, which cannot be defined only in economic terms. AI is going to solve a lot of problems, but it also comes with challenges. We need to use AI with compassion, with delivery to the last mile, and uplift the masses. It becomes more important to preserve our values as technology without purpose is dangerous. We must give governance with empathy. The concept comes from the ancient Vedas, which speak about happiness and peace for everyone, for their upliftment. It is particularly important to preserve Indian art and culture and schools of thought as it is part of our national identity.”
Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) globally are undergoing structural transformation in response to the rapid integration of AI, and evolving student expectations. AI tools enable analysis of complex datasets, modelling of social phenomena, augmentation of qualitative inquiry, and the generation of insights that contribute to the public good. At an institutional level, AI is being embedded into governance in ways that enhance transparency, efficiency and evidence-based decision-making.
