How India's tryst with Artificial Intelligence will ensure its developed status by 2047

Firstpost  

Under Prime Minister Modi’s tech-focused policies, India has shifted from being a follower to a leader. Hosting the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence summit and leading GPAI in 2024 marks a significant leap In 1956, when John McCarthy introduced the term “Artificial Intelligence”, the idea that the 21st century would become synonymous with AI dominance was beyond anyone’s imagination. The Indian government’s Digital India initiative has given a boost to AI technology in the country. Under the framework of ‘Make AI in India’ and ‘Make AI Work for India,’ also the government has taken concrete steps, including the creation of centres of excellence for AI within premier educational institutions. As India combines AI with space technology, these efforts show a forward-thinking approach, aligning with the country’s goals for overall development and global technological leadership.
