There has been a spurt in the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
across industries in India and cloud infrastructure and rapid deployment
of intelligent Cloud services will further drive AI adoption in the
country, Microsoft India said on Wednesday. In a white paper
titled "Age of Intelligence," Microsoft said the focus is to create
modern mobile infrastructure, skill up the workforce and reduce data
costs and cross-industry collaboration, thus extending information
connectivity and digital services to the underserved segments of the
population.
"Our ambition is to enable a human-centered approach
to AI. India is currently at an inflection point in the adoption of AI,"
said Anant Maheshwari, President, Microsoft India as the company
unveiled the white paper at the Nasscom Technology and Leadership Forum
(NTLF) 2019 here.
"Building on the four foundational pillars --
enabling digital transformation across industries, forging coalitions
for innovation, building a future-ready workforce and creating sustained
societal impact -- will unlock and accelerate the potential of AI,"
Maheshwari added.
The white paper outlines challenges and
opportunities with respect to AI and how balanced and forward looking
government policies, technological advancements including growing
Internet penetration and connectivity will help reap benefits of digital
transformation in the years to come.
According to Microsoft,
the company is busy democratising AI and is making the technology
available on Azure Cloud to empower developers and institutions in
solving difficult problems.
"AI enables organizations to make
better informed decisions by making it easy to derive insights from
data, helping them expand and improve customer engagement and
experiences, optimize operations and improve offerings," read the white
paper.
India is digitally ready for a comprehensive AI framework aligned to industries' long-term strategy.
"With
the size of the market and opportunity for growth, it's imperative to
implement AI for India that brings economic, societal and inclusive
growth," Microsoft noted.
