Abstract

Artificial intelligence is the branch of computer science which is concerned with developing machines capable of completing tasks requiring human intelligence. The advent of AI is a paradigm shift which needs to be fully harnessed for well-being of humanity. India has made significant progress in developing AI capability-building in the past few years through government initiative and private sector investments. In June 2018, Niti Aayog had released a paper which directs India's AI focus on five sectors: healthcare, agriculture, education, smart cities and infrastructure, and smart mobility and transportation. It has coined the term #AIforAll. This paper underlines a vision that India can become the leader in Artificial Intelligence. 

 

In 2018, the National AI Strategy was published by the government. Since then, several initiatives have been taken to develop a strong AI ecosystem. The Centre of Excellence in Data Analysis (CEDA) has been established to provide expert data analytics services to government departments. Further, the Future Skills Prime online capacity-building platform has been launched to skill and reskill professionals in emerging technologies and in job roles. Also, the National AI Portal has been launched as a one-stop digital platform for collaboration and knowledge-sharing in AI. The concerned ministry (MEITY) is soon going to launch the National Programme on AI.

 

However, a long leap has to be taken in this regard. The progress in AI development will lead to our economic well-being and contrary to expectations, it will help in new job creations. But for this, we urgently require a strong skilled manpower in AI applications as well as building up a gigantic database. We also need a robust data protection law for the protection of databases and individual privacy.
