The new UIDAI notification that allows private entities to use Aadhaar infrastructure for authentication could set up the marketplace of age verification service providers that we need. My latest Ex Machina article. exmachina.in/05/02/2025/new…

With armies of trolls rampaging through the online world, many of these spaces have fallen silent. This is not because they are empty but because many of us have chosen to keep our heads down for fear of becoming a target. My latest Ex Machina article. exmachina.in/12/02/2025/is-…

Last week I wrote about the Dark Forest theory of the internet. It’s happening in front of our eyes. x.com/matthan/status…

There is a need to reimagine the design of our energy ecosystem to make the most of what digital has to offer. And to meet the challenges of distributed generation and climate transition. This is how we do it. My latest Ex Machina column. exmachina.in/19/02/2025/an-…

The inclusion of the term Consent Manager in the DPDP Act gave rise to considerable speculation as it was unclear what role these entities would perform. The Rules have made things a little clearer. My latest Ex Machina article. exmachina.in/26/02/2025/con…

The availability of data allows us to both price risk and discourage risky behaviour. But we should be careful not to derive too many inferences, or else insurance will become just a prepayment for certain risks. My latest Ex Machina article. exmachina.in/05/03/2025/thr…

In my latest Ex Machina article, I wonder whether the ideas behind Assembly Theory could be used to develop principles for incremental governance. exmachina.in/12/03/2025/ass…

We can significantly reduce world hunger if we can preserve the food we produce till it gets to those who need it. Widespread refrigeration can help, but at a huge cost to the climate. We need a better way. My latest Ex Machina article. exmachina.in/19/03/2025/the…

There is nothing wrong with creating a platform to centralise take-down notices. However, we need to ensure that it aligns with the constitutional principles that the Supreme Court has approved. My latest Ex Machina article. exmachina.in/26/03/2025/tra…

With the climate consensus swiftly unravelling, we need to think differently about how we achieve sustainable development. Could we introduce DPI thinking into the agenda at COP30? My latest Ex Machina article. exmachina.in/02/04/2025/dpi…

We need to find new sources of efficient power. While nuclear might be a solution, it will take too long to address our data centre needs. We need alternatives, and enhanced geothermal might just be it. My latest Ex Machina article. exmachina.in/23/04/2025/enh…

We evolved various heuristics to make sense of the large volume of information the world throws at us. However, when they fell short of our expectations, we called them biases and tried to eliminate them. My latest Ex Machina article. exmachina.in/30/04/2025/bia…

In Copenhagen food is art.

The scientific world is all abuzz with de-extinction technology that we could use to genetically reintroduce lost traits into existing bloodlines. But before we do, we should carefully consider the consequences. My latest Ex Machina article. exmachina.in/07/05/2025/de-…

Maybe we have been going about data portability all wrong. What if, instead of building system-to-system integrations, our data transfer frameworks could be based on self-custodial verifiable credentials? My latest Ex Machina article. exmachina.in/14/05/2025/ver…

The data protection principles we use today were first conceptualised in the 1970’s. Are they still relevant in this age of AI and big data? My latest Ex Machina article. exmachina.in/21/05/2025/big…
