At just 16 years of age, Raul John Aju already has a formidable stack of achievements under his belt.

The teenager from the Indian state of Kerala runs his own company creating artificial intelligence tools, advises governments on how to use the tech, and teaches students how to engage with it in their professional and personal lives.

His prodigious activities have earned him the moniker “AI Kid of India” at home, and an invitation to speak at the recent 2026 India AI Summit, where he met politicians and top officials – including UN chief António Guterres.

UN News’s Anshu Sharma sat down with Raul at the summit and asked what had got him interested in technology at such a young age.
