Why India?

India is already third in the list of countries with Artificial Intelligence skill sets.

“As of now, only 8 percent of GDP is affected by digital technologies. But this number will be 60 percent in 2021,” he said. With a huge population in Billions India adds more data sets to AI which is the foundation of it.

“We believe AI will enable Indian businesses and others for India’s progress. Especially in education, healthcare, and agriculture.” Microsoft also believes that it is imperative to build higher awareness and capabilities on security, privacy, trust, and accountability.”

  2. Building coalitions for responsible innovation.
  3. Bridging the skills gap and enhancing employability.
  4. Creating sustained social impact.

“The world is a computer today… everyone is generating data. The whole computing fabric of the world is continuous.” For the record, the world now produces about 16 Zeta-bytes of data every year. “But when we all start asking what we would like to predict,” Maheshwari said, “the range of what is possible with Artificial Intelligence will explode.”

Is it All Rose but No Thorns?

Sundar Srinivas, Microsoft’s GM for AI, primed this vision with a bit of reality. “It’s not what we can do with Artificial Intelligence, but what we should do or what we should not,” he said, “underlining how it was time to set some principles and ethics of AI.”

We support him as anyone can misuse Artificial Intelligence easily. It can bring a lot of troubles too. Governments and other bodies should create ethical rules, proper legal regulations as soon as possible.
