AI & Panthic AuthorityWhat happens when the world's most-used interpreter of Sikh scripture is a machine trained mostly on non-Sikh sources? Weighs the gifts of scholarly access against risks like flattened theology and fabricated shabads, and asks what infrastructure keeps textual sovereignty with the panth.AI, Social Media, and RelationshipsHow AI and social platforms are reshaping connection, intimacy, and community life, and how this will impact the Sikh community in the years to come.AI, Media, & PoliticsWhat is the intersection of AI and media and political life for the Sikh community?GovernanceExplores network state thinking (diaspora-wide investment networks, decentralized governance, and community-owned platforms) as a way to build autonomous economic and cultural infrastructure that lets the diaspora operate with speed and sovereignty.Sangat at ScaleAsks whether a globally distributed panth could function as a single sangat. The missing ingredient was never bandwidth but sensemaking, which AI can finally provide by listening, translating, and surfacing what the community thinks.AI in Industrial SettingsThe next wave of AI is physical (trucking, farming, warehouse automation) and it lands first on industries Sikhs already operate. Can we own that automation rather than be displaced by it?AI in HealthcareHow might AI shape healthcare in overlooked communities, through translation tools, diagnostic assistants, and culturally fluent mental health and addiction support?AI in PunjabHow do we apply AI to confront Punjab's compounding crises: youth opportunity, groundwater, soil, farmer debt, addiction, mental health?The Future of EducationWhat educational paths should we be directing the coming generation toward, and how do we as a community create platforms for helping them transition into the workforce in an age where AI is taking over many job categories?Sikh AI ModelsWhat would Sikh AI models look like, and what value might they bring? How would they incorporate Sikh principles: Ik Onkar, equality, sarbat da bhala?Building Sikh AI VenturesAI has collapsed the barrier to starting a company, yet Sikh founders still navigate venture as outsiders. How do we create a venture ecosystem that builds wealth for the community?Design ThinkingA working session applying design-thinking methods to how the Sikh community engages with AI.
