Vibrant Publishers Celebrates a New Milestone in Global AI Literacy

Author Karthik Chandrakant’s “Bridging the AI Divide” initiative is now featured on the UN AI Dialogue Partnerships Hub

Broomfield, Colorado, August 28, 2026- Vibrant Publishers is proud to celebrate an important milestone for author and AI leader Karthik Chandrakant, whose initiative, “Bridging the AI Divide — A Global AI Literacy Initiative for Capacity Building, Inclusive & Responsible AI Adoption and Governance,” is now featured on the United Nations AI Dialogue Partnerships Hub.

The milestone follows Chandrakant’s participation in the inaugural United Nations Global Dialogue on AI Governance, held in Geneva on July 6–7, 2026. During the Dialogue, he contributed to discussions on bridging AI divides, capacity building, access, and digital foundations—issues closely connected to his longstanding focus on making artificial intelligence understandable, accessible, and useful to a broader cross-section of society.

His participation in Geneva and the subsequent inclusion of Bridging the AI Divide on the UN AI Dialogue Partnerships Hub mark an important progression in that mission. The Hub brings together initiatives from governments, international organizations, academia, civil society, and industry that are contributing practical action across the global AI governance ecosystem.

Vibrant Publishers is listed among the initiative’s implementing entities, reflecting its role in making AI knowledge more accessible and supporting Chandrakant’s broader efforts to advance AI literacy. Central to this connection is Chandrakant’s book, Artificial Intelligence Essentials You Always Wanted to Know (Artificial Intelligence Essentials), published by Vibrant Publishers as part of its Self-Learning Management Series. Designed for readers without an advanced technical background, the book presents core AI concepts in a clear, practical, and approachable format for students, professionals, career switchers, and lifelong learners. 

“Seeing Karthik Chandrakant initiative featured on the United Nations AI Dialogue Partnerships Hub is a proud moment for all of us at Vibrant Publishers,” said Deep Udeshi, Founder of Vibrant Publishers. “Karthik’s work reflects something we strongly believe in: people need clear and accessible knowledge if they are to understand AI and use it responsibly. We are pleased that Artificial Intelligence Essentials You Always Wanted to Know is part of this broader effort, and we look forward to continuing to publish resources that make emerging technologies easier to understand and apply.”

For Vibrant Publishers, the milestone underscores a shared conviction: meaningful AI governance cannot be separated from AI literacy—a principle Chandrakant summarizes simply: “Responsible AI governance begins with AI literacy.” 

The inclusion of Artificial Intelligence Essentials within the broader initiative also reflects Vibrant Publishers’ expanding commitment to publishing practical, accessible resources across artificial intelligence and emerging technologies.

As AI rapidly reshapes workplaces, classrooms, industries, and public institutions, learners need resources that move beyond the headlines and help them understand both the capabilities and responsible use of these technologies.

Vibrant Publishers’ growing AI and Emerging Technologies portfolio includes:

Together, these books are designed for readers at different stages of their AI learning journey, from beginners looking for a clear introduction to professionals seeking practical ways to apply new technologies. 

Vibrant Publishers’ mission has always been to democratize knowledge through accessible, structured, and practical learning resources. As artificial intelligence transforms the way people learn, work, make decisions, and interact with technology, that mission is taking on new significance. Access to AI tools alone is not enough. Individuals and organizations also need the knowledge to understand those tools, evaluate their implications, use them effectively, and adopt them responsibly.

That is why Vibrant Publishers is extending its commitment to accessible learning through a growing body of AI-focused publications designed for students, professionals, managers, educators, and lifelong learners.

Supporting Karthik Chandrakant’s Bridging the AI Divide initiative is a natural extension of that commitment. The initiative and Vibrant Publishers’ publishing program share an important objective: helping ensure that the benefits of artificial intelligence are not limited to those with advanced technical expertise or access to specialized ecosystems.

By making AI concepts easier to understand and apply, Vibrant Publishers aims to contribute to a future in which more professionals, educators, students, institutions, and communities can participate confidently in the AI-driven economy—and do so with greater awareness of responsible, ethical, and inclusive adoption.

For Vibrant Publishers, it is also an affirmation of the role that accessible publishing and structured learning can play in closing the AI knowledge gap. As AI continues to evolve, Vibrant Publishers remains committed to doing what it has always sought to do: make important knowledge easier to access, understand, and put into practice.
