Modi to attend NITI Lecture Series on Oct 22; to focus on 'AI for ALL'

New Delhi, Oct 21 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the 4th edition of NITI Lecture Series tomorrow here at Vigyan Bhawan which would focus on enable use of artificial intelligence in key, high gain sectors of social development viz healthcare, agriculture, smart mobility, education and infrastructure.
The key note address at the Lecture Series will be delivered by NVIDIA Corporation president and co-founder Jensen Huang.
The theme this year is “AI for ALL: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence for Inclusive Growth”.
Union Ministers, policy makers, experts from different walks of life along with NITI Aayog Vice Chairman, Members, CEO and Senior officials will be a part of on this occasion.
Union Budget-2018 mandated NITI Aayog to come up with a national programme on employing Artificial Intelligence towards national development. NITI has, since, published a National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence.
National Strategy lays down the vision of India for evolving a robust ecosystem for AI research and adoption. The Strategy is termed #AIForAll as it is focused on leveraging AI for inclusive growth in line with the Government policy of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas.
NITI Aayog has signed Statements of Intent (SoI) with industry leaders such as Google, Microsoft and IBM to leapfrog India into the global arena of future technologies.
Aiming to put AI to use for all and across sectors, NITI has identified barriers that needs to be addressed to achieve success in the use of AI. These include lack of expertise, absence of enabling data ecosystem, high resource cost and low awareness, privacy and security issues and absence of collaborative approach to adoption and application of AI.
"Recognising the importance of research and its commercial adoption in success of AI, NITI has also proposed setting up of Centre of Research Excellence (CORE) to focus on developing better understanding of existing core research. Besides this, the strategy paper also recommends setting up of International Centres of Transformational AI with a mandate to develop and deploy application-based research in collaboration with private players," the statement read.
