As the software startup industry adopts artificial intelligence as a new term, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has declared that India will lead in this field.
It is our responsibility to seize the opportunity. While addressing at Startup Mahakumbh on Wednesday (March 20), Modi stated, “If there are language constraints for the election campaign, I leverage AI to disseminate my message effectively in Tamil, Telugu, and Odia.”
Nammo App has used AI to help attendees of the Startup Mahakumbh take selfies with the Prime Minister in this age of people chasing selfies with celebrities. The Prime Minister has highlighted the use of AI, and this solution highlights one of those use cases.
“Young entrepreneurs and international investors have a lot of opportunities thanks to artificial intelligence. The youth have more prospects thanks to initiatives like the Semiconductor Mission, India AI Mission, and National Quantum Mission, he continued.
Modi is of the opinion that India will lead the AI revolution, and that the nation’s tech sector must guarantee this.
For a while now, the government has been concentrating on the regulatory and deployment aspects of artificial intelligence.
The country’s biggest social media companies received a revised advisory from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) on the use of artificial intelligence. The revised advisory removed a requirement for platforms and intermediaries to obtain government approval prior to releasing “unreliable” or “under-tested” AI models.
The IT ministry declared that the March 15 warning takes precedence over the March 1 one. The updated advice does not contain the previous clause requiring platforms to obtain “explicit permission” from the Center prior to implementing “under-testing/unreliable” AI models.
The AI4Bharat research team at IIT Madras revealed IndicVoices, an extensive open-source voice dataset that spans 22 Indian languages and 7,348 hours of audio, earlier this month. Additionally, a multi-year agreement was reached by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) and IISc, Bengaluru, to collaborate on AI research.
