With the government focusing on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
and Machine Learning (ML) as people are increasingly adopting digital
technologies, India can lead in setting standards for ethical use of AI,
a top Microsoft executive said on Friday.
"The real application
of AI needs to be to empower human ingenuity and to accelerate
innovation for all kinds of work and thinking," Anant Maheshwari,
President, Microsoft India, told IANS.
In an earlier interview
with IANS on the eve of 73rd Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra
Modi said that the government is trying to leverage technology like AI
and ML to improve school education.
Finance Minister Nirmala
Sitharaman in her maiden Budget speech in July announced that the
government will lay focus on new-age skills like AI, Internet of Things,
Big Data, 3D Printing, Virtual Reality and Robotics.
"About 91
per cent of organisations today plan to leverage AI within the next
three years to drive their businesses and the biggest issue they point
out for not using it right now is lack of skills," Maheshwari said.
"India
is among the top three geographies globally in terms of the supply of
skills for AI and that bodes very well for India to lead and contribute
significantly in the world of AI," Maheshwari added.
"We can very
much create use cases and the standards for ethical use of AI. I am
quite optimistic on the role India will play in the emergence of AI and
the principles of AI," he noted.
Microsoft on Friday announced a
partnership with the Indian School of Business (ISB) to equip business
leaders with tools and strategies to make their organisations AI-driven.
"The
initiative we are launching today between ISB and Microsoft really
addresses not only the issue of creating right awareness around the
skill set needed to drive the AI strategies, but also provide the tool
sets to create the AI strategies, to create the discussion around what
culture is needed inside an organisation to drive AI and also have the
awareness of the ethics and principles around it," Maheshwari
emphasised.
