We track the frontier of artificial intelligence, spotlight companies using AI responsibly, and champion products made in India — by human hands.
Done By Humans is your guide through the AI era — keeping you informed, grounded, and proud of what humans create.
The latest breakthroughs, model releases, research papers, and industry shifts — curated and explained in plain language. No hype, just facts.
We list and vet companies using AI responsibly — those prioritising transparency, low carbon footprints, fair data practices, and ethical deployment.
A curated showcase of products crafted by Indian artisans and makers — without AI assistance. Authentic, traditional, and full of human soul.
We believe artificial intelligence should amplify human potential — not replace it. Done By Humans exists to celebrate what machines cannot replicate: creativity, culture, and the irreplaceable touch of human hands.

Researchers at IIT Delhi demonstrate a viable pathway for major AI infrastructure to achieve zero-carbon operations by 2030.
The government's ambitious IndiaAI mission fast-tracks indigenous large language models trained on Indian languages and cultural data.
Cutting through the noise. Real breakthroughs, real implications, explained clearly.
GPT-5 achieves 92% on MMLU and near-human performance on the Bar Exam. We break down what these numbers mean in practice — and what still trips the model up.
India's state-backed AI model, trained on 22 official languages, passes key comprehension benchmarks — a milestone for linguistic diversity in AI.
A novel sparse-activation architecture dramatically reduces compute requirements without sacrificing performance — a potential turning point for green AI.
A landmark MIT study shows that even the most advanced models fundamentally confuse correlation with causation — with serious implications for medical and legal AI.
The EU AI Act enters its first enforcement phase. We explain the risk tiers, compliance requirements, and what Indian companies exporting to Europe need to know.
Claude 4 sets new records on coding and reasoning benchmarks while maintaining Anthropic's constitutional AI safety framework. A rare combination of power and responsibility.
Researchers at IIT Bombay develop an AI diagnostic tool that identifies pancreatic cancer markers earlier than any existing clinical method — potentially saving thousands of lives.
Niramai Health Analytix's AI-assisted, radiation-free breast cancer screening tool earns international acclaim for ethical AI deployment in underserved communities.
As India's cloud infrastructure booms, Microsoft commits its Pune and Hyderabad data centres to renewable energy — setting a benchmark for the industry.
We vet and list companies that deploy AI ethically, transparently, and sustainably. Not all AI is equal.
AI-powered, radiation-free breast cancer screening accessible to rural India. Processes thermal images locally — no data leaves the device.
Uses machine learning to help governments and companies adapt to climate change — transparent models, open-source data, carbon-neutral operations.
Khan Academy's AI tutor that guides students through problem-solving rather than giving answers. Designed to enhance, not replace, human teachers.
AI-driven farm management helping 7M+ farmers across 52 countries improve yields sustainably — no unnecessary chemical inputs, data-sovereign approach.
Responsible AI-powered credit for underserved Indians. Bias-audited lending models, fair interest rates, and full explainability to borrowers.
Safety-first AI research company pioneering Constitutional AI — building systems that are helpful, harmless, and honest as core design principles.
Using AI for predictive solar panel maintenance and grid optimisation — making clean energy more reliable across rural India with explainable AI decisions.
AI-personalised learning pathways for Indian university students — adaptive, culturally aware, and designed to supplement (not supplant) faculty mentorship.
Smart dairy farming AI helping 3M+ cattle farmers in India optimise milk yield, animal health, and supply chain — with full data ownership for farmers.
They must openly disclose how their AI models work, what data they use, and the limitations of their systems.
Carbon footprint of compute operations must be disclosed, with active commitments to renewable energy use.
Regular third-party bias audits, with results published publicly and meaningful corrective action taken.
AI must augment human decision-making — not fully automate consequential decisions without appropriate human review.
Every item here is crafted by Indian artisans, designers, and makers — without AI tools. Real skill, real culture, real craft.
