Urvashi Aneja

Founder and Director of Digital Futures Lab, Dr Urvashi Aneja, delivered a keynote at re:publica 2026 in Berlin, Europe’s largest digital society festival.

Her talk — ‘It’s Happening to Us, Not With Us: AI, the Global South and the Fight for Social Justice’— draws on DFL’s original research on AI and gender in India, asking what the fight for digital justice actually requires when the people most affected by these systems have the least power to define their terms.
