Perspectives on Technology and Applications of Al
回
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to disrupt our world. With intelligent machines enabling high-level cognitive processes like thinking, perceiving, learning, problem solving and decision making, coupled with advances in data collection and aggregation, analytics and computer processing power, Al presents opportunities to complement and supplement human intelligence and enrich the way people live and work. India, being the fastest growing economy with the second largest population in the world, has a significant stake in the Al revolution.
From an applications perspective, the approach is to identify sectors that may have the potential of greatest externalities while adopting Al solutions, and hence require the government to play a leading role in developing the implementation roadmap for Al. For example, the agriculture sector in India, which forms the bedrock of India’s economy, needs multi-layered technology infusion and coordination amongst several stakeholders. Efforts from private sector may neither be financially optimal nor efficient on a standalone basis, and hence sustained government intervention to tackle the existing challenges and constraints is needed. Hence, India’s approach to implementation of Al has to be guided by optimisation of social goods, rather than maximisation of topline growth.
From a technology perspective, the strategy is to maximise the late-movers’ advantage. Acknowledging that India is some distance away from consistently delivering home grown pioneering technology solutions in Al, adapting and innovating the technology for India’s unique needs and opportunities would help it in leap frogging, while simultaneously building the foundational R&D capability aimed at ensuring competitiveness in the long run.
87. How can India benefit from the late-movers’ advantage in the field of Al?
(A) By creating a single-window system that enables the foreign Al tech giants to come to India without any barriers to entry and exit by leveraging India’s cheap labour market and huge population base.
(B) By simultaneously building the foundational R&D capability aimed at ensuring competitiveness and allowing or attracting the best Al companies with cutting-edge research to come to India.
(C) By leveraging India’s market as the key factor for delivering consistent Al driven successful solutions and pioneering models.
(D) Acknowledging one’s limitation and innovating to deliver homegrown solutions to lap frog by simultaneously building the foundational R&D capability aimed at ensuring competitiveness in the long run.
