Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant has said that India today is well-positioned to become a global leader in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and there is a need to adopt it across all sectors. He further said the government has a crucial role to play in positioning India as the 'tech garage' of the world. He also said AI has been catalysing leadership in the last few years and it is a game changer.
The Niti Aayog CEO further said AI will have a very critical impact on the defence sector and prove to be crucial technology for air warriors. He pointed out that India's large geographical diversity presents unique developmental challenges in areas like education, healthcare, agriculture, infrastructure and transportation. For India to maximise the effective leveraging of AI tools, he said ‘we need to cultivate and harness our biggest asset which is the human capital. The New Education Policy is a great enabler with special emphasis on skills.’
Kant said the government will play the role of a catalyst in bringing together the synergies of the private sector for innovations. For the use of AI in the defence sector, he said there needs to be more collaboration between the private sector, government and academic institutions. He added that India is now a data-rich country and must become a more data-intelligent nation.
