NEW DELHI: India has an opportunity to create a locally designed Artificial Intelligence plan that would work for its needs and help nurture world-dominating companies specialising in this emerging field, say experts. So far, the country is seen as lagging behind the US and China in building capabilities in AI<\/a> due to the lack of large internet companies that harness data of users. However, growing investments across sectors in building data-based businesses and the recognition by the government to create enabling policies for AI is throwing up opportunity for entrepreneurs.\n
\n“India could have a very large role to play, all the pieces are in place, it has a great opportunity, and is upto India to either succeed or fail,” Andrew NG, one of the most prominent experts of AI told ET.
\n
\n
NG, who was the cofounder of Google Brain and is the founder of online learning platform Coursera<\/a> added that he gets pitch notes from Indian startups. “I have seen some promising ideas from India in the area of healthcare, education, but a lot of hard work has to be done in building the technical capability because AI products for instance speech recognition require high levels of accuracy.”
\n
\nRecognising the potential and the fact that India doesn’t want to miss the bus on AI, the government has beginning to take steps.
\n
In his Budget Presentation on February 1, finance minister Arun Jaitley<\/a> announced a national programme on AI to be spearheaded by Niti Aayog<\/a>. A high-level committee headed by Niti Aayog vice chairman Rajiv Kumar has been formed to lay out a roadmap for India’s research and development on AI and its applications with the idea to counter China’s commitment towards AI. China has already prepared a threestep roadmap to become the world leader in AI by 2030.
\n
\nSeparately, the ministry of electronics and IT has also set up four sub-committees on AI to study aspects such as legal, regulatory and Cybersecurity. A Ministry of Commerce commissioned task force on AI for India’s economic transformation, headed by V Kamakoti, a professor of computer science at IIT Madras, has made its recommendations to the government. Soumitra Dutta, till recently the Dean of the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business said that AI presents an opportunity for India to establish a leadership in the world of technology, which it has lost today adding that the digital economy globally is dominated by American and Chinese companies.
\n
“If you go back 25 years, India disrupted the software model, and created big companies such as, Infosys<\/a> and Wipro<\/a>. But India missed the Internet and mobile disruption. AI provides the next disruption for India to create the global giants,” he said.
\n
\nA December study by Accenture says AI could add $ 957 billion to the Indian economy or increase the country’s income by 15% in 2035 by changing the nature of work to create better outcomes.

新德里:印度有机会创建一个本地人工智能设计计划,为其工作的需求和帮助培养国家的公司专门从事这个新兴领域,专家说。到目前为止,这个国家被视为落后美国和中国在构建能力人工智能由于缺少大型互联网公司,利用数据的用户。然而,越来越多的跨部门投资建设基于数据的企业和政府认可的创建使政策AI是呕吐为企业家的机会。“印度有一个非常大的作用,所有的碎片,它有一个很好的机会,和到印度是成功或失败,”Andrew NG,其中最著名的人工智能的专家告诉等。
NG,谷歌的共同创始人大脑和在线学习平台的创始人Coursera还说,他音符来自印度的创业公司。“我看到了一些有潜力的想法来自印度在该地区的医疗、教育、但很多艰苦的工作要做在建筑技术能力,因为人工智能产品例如语音识别需要高水平的准确性。”
识别潜在的和印度不想错过公车AI,政府已经开始采取措施。
在他的预算报告2月1日财政部长杰宣布了一项国家计划牵头的人工智能镍钛Aayog。镍钛Aayog为首的一个高级别委员会副主席Rajiv Kumar已经形成为印度制定一个路线图的研究和开发人工智能及其应用的想法来对抗中国对AI的承诺。中国已经准备了threestep路线图在2030年成为世界领先的人工智能。
另外,电子和它还设立了四个小组委员会在人工智能研究等方面法律、监管和网络安全。商务部委托工作队AI对印度的经济转型,由V Kamakoti,理工学院的计算机科学教授马德拉斯、使其政府的建议。Soumitra Dutta,直到最近康奈尔庄臣商业学院的院长说,人工智能为印度提供了一个机会建立一个在世界上的领导地位的技术,它已经失去了今天全球数字经济是由美国和中国公司。
“如果你回去的25年里,印度中断软件模型,并创建了大公司,比如印孚瑟斯和Wipro。但是印度错过了互联网和移动破坏。AI提供接下来的破坏对印度创建全球巨人,”他说。
埃森哲12月的一项研究说,人工智能可以增加9570亿美元的印度经济或增加国家的收入由2035年的15%通过改变的本质工作创造更好的结果。
