Development of Digital Skills among American Veterans

Mr. Choudhuri pays huge attention to assisting US veterans in their transition into civilian employment, especially in technology. Transitioning from military duty back into civilian life can be hard in industries such as IT. He also plays a crucial role in giving veterans the necessary skills within today's digital economy through various means of partnership with organizations such as the St. Michael's Learning Academy. His work on the "SAP Veterans to Work" enables veterans to step into different careers by imparting two key skills: program management and SAP. Choudhuri sees to it that veterans not only ace their new careers but also become employable by providing training in technical areas such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) and leadership. His efforts also focus on creating a supportive community where veterans can network and learn from industry experts.

Mentoring the Next Generation: Universities and STEM Focus

Outside of work with institutions-notably, Georgia Tech University and the University of Colorado Colorado Springs-Mr. Choudhuri has committed to fostering the next generation of technologists. He works accordingly as a mentor in STEM courses to help guide and encourage students in their aspirations to be able to enter professions involving artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital transformation. He also regularly delivers guest talks at industry gatherings and university forums about new technology and the changing nature of artificial intelligence. He serves as a consultant to the Strategic AI Certificate Program at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs and helps shape the academic programs to meet business needs. Choudhuri instills in them principles of ethical use and responsibility of technology that question the implications their work has in society.

Supporting Tech Entrepreneurs: Fostering Innovation and Growth

A mentor to tech entrepreneurs in the US and India, Mr. Choudhuri's reach extends into the entrepreneurial ecosystem, aiding budding businesses in negotiating obstacles related to innovation, growth, and funding with his vast knowledge in AI, machine learning, and ERP. Choudhuri directly works with digital entrepreneurs to improve business models, explore expansion opportunities, and foster sustainable practices through events at US TiE Commerce Connect and IIM US Alumni Digital Conference. He mentors entrepreneurs to move long-term societal benefits ahead of short-term financial gains, focusing on the requirement for socially responsible firms.

United Nations Sustainability Program Contribution and Global Digital Dialogue

The work Mr. Choudhuri does with the United Nations aptly constitutes a very important example of his commitment to digital technologies serving humanity. As a UN AI Industry Specialist, Choudhuri leads the application of AI and digital tools in helping this organization meet its SDGs. His main objective will be the ethical use of technology in solving pressing global issues such as poverty, inequality, and climate change.

The UN Resident Coordinator Office in Mongolia hosted the Global Digital Dialogue, GDD 3.0, in which Choudhuri was the guest speaker on August 14, 2024. It brought together experts from across the world to debate and explore how AI and digital technologies can offer potential contributions toward the attainment of SDGs. What Choudhuri has emphasized is the requirement of a holistic approach toward digital transformation-a course of strategy that considers impacts on society and the economy. He emphasized the application of AI to solve key issues facing societies, especially in areas like Mongolia, with a focus on rural development and access to health services.

That is why he took part in the Global Digital Dialogue; he is a firm believer in technology as a means of bringing people together for sustainable development. In collaboration with international organizations, Mr. Choudhuri has ensured that underprivileged communities across the globe reap benefits from digital transformation and contribute their voices to the global dialogue on using AI for good.

Advocating for Holistic Digital Transformation

Fundamentally, Mr. Choudhuri believes in the holistic change of the digital landscape-one is supposed to take into consideration the social, economic, and ethical implications of technology development rather than just bringing in new technologies. Inclusive-platform-based, his approach encompasses everything from the extraction of benefits for one and all in the digital revolution, be it veterans, students, entrepreneurs, or multinational organizations.

Choudhuri advocates for laws and procedures that ensure artificial intelligence is used in a moral and fitting manner. He is a highly regarded thought leader in the technology sector. His inclusion into international fora-the United Nations and the Forbes Business Council-continuously empowers him to influence debates on how technology can foster sustainable development while responding to critical global challenges such as environmental sustainability and inequality. With his commitment to an ethical and inclusive digital transformation, technology will henceforth serve the interests of all, while guaranteeing a more sustainable and equitable future.
