What is The Bharat Pacific Community?
The Bharat Pacific Communities are created & maintained by the Indian Society of Artificial Intelligence and Law as an AI Industry Forum, focusing on inclusive ways to help people engage and understand on how businesses, creative works, legal practices and policies artificial intelligence are made.
​
There are multiple ways that you can engage with us.
Level 0: Join our Open Insights and Communities
Please Note: as per Article 4, paragraph 7 of The Bharat Pacific Charter:
"Members of ISAIL's social media communities, messaging app groups of The Bharat Pacific Community / The Bharat Pacific AI Community, or paid subscribers to ISAIL's publications shall not be considered "Members" of ISAIL unless expressly designated as such by the Secretariat."

Thus, you can join these communities for free, but you have no right to state you are an ISAIL member unless you go through the process mandated by the ISAIL Secretariat.

Level 1: Access our Publicly Available Literature
We are pioneers in AI and Law mentoring, and community building since 2020. Why?
We started our virtual internship programmes in late 2019, and accepted more entries since March 2020.
​
​Most of our literature - like literally around 95%+ of it is available for free. Let us tell you how can you access them.
Level 2: Become an Annual ISAIL Member
There are so many benefits if you become a member of ISAIL.
Once you become a member, you can engage as a student (or scholar) / professional (check guidelines) and participate in our Roundtables, or even self-nominate to be a part of those expert groups we have.
But wait, why do those groups matter so much? The answer lies in the purpose.
ISAIL Expert Groups are regularly involved in hosting key discussions (not talk shop or business media-led 'panel discussions' for policy glamour, but real discussions) with startups, and law, tech & policy specialists.
As a group member, you can also engage with us and develop outcome documents which could also encompass your value as a professional.
At the same time, while we offer students virtual internships, legal professionals & law students for sure can build their research portfolio for future career options, while technology and non-legal professionals can learn from these discussions as committed members of a larger independent India-inclusive technology community.
