My time at ISAIL has been wonderful as this internship opportunity provided me with invaluable foundational experience in the field of AI laws and policies. This subject has always interested me a lot and ISAIL was the best place to further explore it. ISAIL introduced me to numerous niche areas of research through weekly assignments. I was able to research and analyse documents like “AI competency framework for Government Officials”, “Report on AI Governance Guidelines Development”, “Adversarial Machine Learning: A Taxonomy and Terminology of Attacks and Mitigation”. I learned various new concepts and with my improved skills in drafting, research, and critical thinking, I was well equipped to construct my discussion paper titled “Federated Learning In Indian Healthcare: Legal and Policy Challenges” over the course of the internship for my final submission. All thanks to Mr Abhivardhan who was especially a great mentor. He was understanding and guided us through each step patiently. I could not recommend a better place to intern at than ISAIL for anyone seeking meaningful projects, excellent mentorship, and a truly supportive environment.
