Indian Innovation And The Future Of AI
Kapur said that people often overlook Indian talent and innovation. Citing the example of India's previous success, he said that India had previously disproved all doubters by launching the Mars Orbiter into space at a cost that was less than the cost of making a Hollywood Mars movie.
He further stated that real advancements in AI will come not from the top, but from the grassroots. According to him, it is young people, like this little girl, who will use AI to improve their lives and embrace it enthusiastically.
Finally, Kapur stated that it is the large number of such creative, imaginative, and ambitious young people who will become the true users of AI and make India one of the world's leading countries in the field of artificial intelligence.
