Artificial Intelligence: Heartbeats Of India | captpoonam

Artificial Intelligence?

We have reached the era of Big Data, Cloud Computing, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is currently in a rapid phase of growth and is continually making technological advancements. India has become a rising business center and ranks among the world's most desirable technology transaction economies in the world.

Every Indian, however, is frightened of the stomach-lurching feeling that comes when their smartphones are lost, from a teenager to a housewife, because that small gadget connects us not only with the individuals in our phone contacts but with the universe. In some way or the other, our devices and several Applications we download use artificial intelligence.

So if you can't picture your life without the endless dose of internet browsing, ordering stuff online and finding new songs on your favorite music streaming app; if you're a bad browser and depend on Google maps relentlessly to navigate your way to your location; or if you love following what's hot on Facebook and Pinterest, then a little heads up, guys; you're already plunged into AI's morass. This demonstrates how little artificial intelligence we know, but how easily its source tangles us up.

India: Becoming an AI Superpower

India is at the cusp of the AI revolution right now and its effect is beginning to take off. India is a major nation with social problems of its own. India is a land of ethnic, demographic, linguistic, and literacy growth. The list goes on. This simply raises the challenge of running the country and bringing about the transition.

India will eventually develop home-grown technology that is more appropriate to India and its concerns, with a very strong IT potential and an even stronger start-up community. These will then have a greater presence in the worldwide space to further strengthen India's positioning in the worldwide AI sector.

The Current Status of AI in India

India is ranked as the center for "Internet Skills"-Digital Innovation Hub. The nation spends $1.6 bn annually on upgrading the sector's workforce. The business is the private sector's biggest employer, employing 3.9 million workers. With over 627 million internet users in 2019, India is turning into a digital global marketplace.

The Indian start-up industry has already seen enormous upgrades and impressive alliances with global tech giants. Today, Indian businessmen have a greater understanding of business trends and are well-informed about the innovations involved. Today, Indian start-ups are implementing AI to build vertical solutions such as BFSI, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, etc., and also for others that were previously unexplored, such as agriculture, fisheries, marine resources, water conservation, alternative medicines, protection and empowerment of women.

In 2017, a Commerce and Industry Department Task Force on AI for India's Economic Transformation was established. The National Institution for Transforming India (NITI) Aayog, the government think-tank, pioneered the national research-focused AI program in February 2018.

In brief, the pace of imagination around developing a detailed AI plan for the future is not comparable to America or China today. There is increased AI involvement in companies working to qualify their workforce to interact with other international giants, educational institutions focusing on their curriculum design to include machine learning courses and other related fields, and people and professionals acquiring and developing their skills.

Much of the momentum today appears to be in the form of government AI pilot projects in agriculture and healthcare and the rise of AI startups in tech hubs in India. Karnataka has introduced the GOI and NASSCOM Center for Excellence in AI in Bangalore to mentor AI professionals.

In short, with three to four startups born daily, India has a big advantage over other countries in terms of intelligence, powerful IT services, an offshore outsourcing industry to leverage the power of AI, and a vibrant start-up ecosystem in the world. But if the AI wave needs to be manipulated, India needs to resolve its inherent vulnerabilities.

Ambiguity remains among policymakers and decision-makers regarding AI applications. Besides, emerging and very small AI talent is only available as of today. And, because of failures, cultural influences, copy-catting market structures, and venture capital ineptitude are other limitations.

AI in Pandemics

Artificial Intelligence has a wide scope to assist with worldwide pandemics in the current as well as in the future. Analyzing the development of diseases, robots, data visualization, NLP, etc. by vast pieces of data and offering valuable insights will benefit researchers greatly. Not only does AI have the capacity to help tackle this pandemic, but also to help in future studies.

There is a desperate need for trained practitioners in this field with the rise of Artificial Intelligence ( AI) prospects. This is an outstanding time to learn emerging technology such as data science, deep learning and machine learning, programming with Python, etc.

Final Thoughts

To take advantage of the cost-competitive advantage and a large source of skilled IT workers by concentrating on AI programs, sufficient funding, PPP alliances, joint international collaborations with industry and academies, rapid progress in AI absorption, and growth is crucial. Paying higher wages not only to sustain but also to lure Indian talent employed in foreign countries and provide a favourable work climate and rewards for commitments to development is an essential in house and on job up-skilling of the workforce.

To sum up, with the aid of data analytics and artificial intelligence, the entire nation is on the point of shaping multiple sectors throughout the pandemic. There are already substantial provisions in the backing, national security, fitness treatment, transport, and so on that have altered decision-making, commercial prototypes, risk reduction, and efficiency of the company. Such advances have significant social and economic benefits.
