Atul Gupta winner of the 2025 CoBS CSR Article Competition at IIM Bangalore contends that as AI quietly rewires how we work, decide, and govern, it demands more than technical mastery. It calls for moral clarity. The real question isn’t how intelligent our machines become, but whether we can build a world where that intelligence serves justice, dignity, and the common good.

Rethinking Inclusion: How to unlock the power of neurodiverse talent What might your workplace look like if every unique mind had the space to belong? This article draws on pioneering research by Professor Na Fu of Trinity Business School, Trinity College Dublin, alongside Ashley Molloy of Tuath Housing Association and Ashley O’Donoghue of TU Dublin, to challenge outdated views of autism and neurodiversity in the workplace. Their findings reveal that inclusive HR isn’t about fixing people to fit systems – it’s about designing systems where difference can thrive. The question now is: will your organisation rise to meet this opportunity?
