The New Divide by Jibu Elias — Siyahi’s first foray into a conversation that couldn’t be more urgent.
Mita and Jibu had been talking about this book for a while before the manuscript actually reached us at the end of 2023. By the time we finally had pages in hand, we already knew we wanted to be part of it. Jibu, a researcher and policy advisor who’s spent nearly a decade inside India’s and the world’s AI governance landscape, asks the questions most AI conversations skip: who benefits, who gets left behind, and what happens when the tools we build start to govern us. It’s a call to action, and a genuinely vital perspective from the Global South on a conversation too often dominated by Silicon Valley optimism.
Congratulations, Jibu! This book has been a long time coming, in the best way.
