Vaishnav said people around the world now understand how India can remain on a sustained growth path when many other countries are in debt.
On misinformation and mistrust emerging as the biggest threats globally, identified by the World Economic Forum, and the challenges posed by AI, he said we will certainly need to take necessary safeguards but the opportunities presented by AI are also huge And they must be exploited responsibly.
“The way India has proved its mettle in IT services, similar opportunity exists in the case of AI. We need to prepare our youth for this.”
“Just as we launched 5G labs in 100 universities for telecom and just as we equipped 250 universities with the latest semiconductor design tools, we are committed to preparing our youth to ensure a leadership position for India in the AI ​​sector. “We are launching AI-ready courses in 200 universities,” he explained.
When asked about new rules for AI, Vaishnav said there should be a balance between regulation and innovation so that both can move forward together.
