Reorienting and readying skills for the AI era will be key to India's ambition of harnessing its STEM talent and becoming the artificial intelligence solutions capital of the world, IT Secretary S Krishnan said on Thursday.
Speaking at the CII GCC Business Summit, Krishnan noted that the deployment of AI in enterprises is still lagging across the world, not just in India, presenting an opportunity for GCCs here to play a critical role.
Artificial intelligence (AI) presents an opportunity to transition beyond routine work, with automation expected to handle lower-order functions while humans focus on higher-value roles, he said.
Krishnan said the government's approach towards AI has been "extremely positive" with an "optimistic outlook" right from the start.
He said India should aim to become the world's hub for AI applications and solutions by leveraging its talent to drive enterprise adoption of the technology.
