We are building next-gen AI to become a global powerhouse: Rajeev Chandrasekhar
As the world goes gaga over AI chatbots, Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar has a clear vision: To make India a global powerhouse of AI which does not just stop on integrating foreign chatbots but building next-generation of AI-based innovations to empower billions of citizens.
Chandrasekhar told IANS that artificial intelligence (AI) is a “kinetic enabler” of the digital economy and the government will infuse more of this disruptive technology into its ‘India Stack’.
“AI will certainly transform the digital economy and grow the business economy in the country. We are launching a very comprehensive programme called the INDIAai Programme and you will see more AI use cases via the India stack — Aadhaar, Unified Payments Interface (UPI), DigiLocker, CoWIN and more,” Chandrasekhar emphasised.
“AI, as I have said, is a ‘kinetic enabler’ of the digital economy and we want to be the global leader in AI,” the Minister told IANS.
This week, Chandrasekhar met Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, and had a “good, interesting conversation about India Stack and Artificial Intelligence (AI)”.
