Iโ€™m pleased to share our latest piece in the SundayObserver on what happens when AI and social media intersect without adequate ethical guardrails.

In the article, we unpack how current algorithmic systems shape our public discourse, influence behaviour, and in some cases, inflict real harm on individuals and communities here in Sri Lanka and beyond. We need to think not just about technologyโ€™s potential, but about the values and safeguards that should guide its use.

The piece also reflects on recent national experiences and why this matters for policy, education, and citizenship in our digital era.

Thank you, Kanagasabai Thiruthanigesan, and Aravinth Thevarajan for the useful work!

2025 in focus. Looking forward to 2026!

From classrooms to boardrooms across the Asia-Pacific region, my work continues at the intersection of education, leadership, and human-centered AI, scaling responsible AI literacy and turning complexity into clarity.

AI is no longer just a tool. Itโ€™s a shared language that connects human creativity with limitless possibilities. When learned responsibly, it doesnโ€™t replace human intelligence - it grows it.
