Excellent move! Collaboration between think tanks and cyber experts is exactly what India needs to secure its digital future. The focus on AI safety is spot on. We must lead in setting ethical standards for technology use.

Good step, but I hope this doesn't become another committee that just produces reports. We need actionable outcomes and training that reaches our state police forces and local administration. Cyber threats are hyper-local now.

Jai Hind! This is strategic thinking. Information warfare is the new frontier, and we must protect our national narrative. Glad to see retired armed forces officers are involved - they understand the stakes better than anyone.

Respectfully, while the intent is good, I hope the research is made accessible to the public and startups. Often such collaborations remain within closed circles. Democratizing this knowledge will truly build resilience.

The emphasis on capacity building is encouraging. India has the talent pool to become a global leader in AI safety and cyber peace.
