Nepal’s AI Policy 2025 is ambitious on paper, but risks failing in practice unless it includes the everyday users—students, teachers, doctors, farmers, and workers—who will actually live with its consequences.

Nepal’s uprising was unmistakably Gen Z, which is fast, visual, and networked. That same energy can defend the vote if it gets redirected from outrage to skill.

AI isn’t ruining Nepal’s classrooms, nor is it a magic fix. It’s a tool—and one we can shape to serve our students. Let’s act now, before the next bus ride turns learning into just another shortcut.
