Information Society: A Global Journey from DoT Force to AI

This book, Information Society: A Global Journey from DoT Force to AI , is a personal reflection, a historical account, and a call to action. It seeks to document the twenty-year journey of global efforts to build a people-centered, inclusive, and development-oriented Information Society - one that leaves no one behind. From the earliest days of the DoT Force, through the formative phases of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), and into the evolving frameworks of the MDGs, SDGs, and the proposed Global Digital Compact, this book attempts to trace the continuum of thought, policy, and people that made the Information Society what it is today- and what it still must become. This book is not just history - it is a living reminder of what we have achieved and what remains to be done.
