NITI Aayog has, since, published a National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence. National Strategy lays down the vision of India for evolving a robust ecosystem for AI research and adoption. The Strategy is termed #AIForAll as it is focused on leveraging AI for inclusive growth in line with the Government policy of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas. NITI Aayog has signed Statements of Intent with industry leaders such as Google, Microsoft and IBM to leapfrog India into the global arena of future technologies and enable the use of artificial intelligence in key, high gain sectors of social development – healthcare, agriculture, smart mobility, education and infrastructure. In order to demonstrate the impact of AI, multiple pilot projects have been launched in the areas of precision agriculture, creating AI led healthcare solutions, and bridging India’s diversity of languages by creating a digital “Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat” platform using Natural Language Processing (NLP). NLP is a system of protocols which allow machines or computers to understand and interact with human speech and symbols. The Prime Minister in his address at the launch of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Centre for Fourth Industrial Revolution has underlined that with each wave of new technology, new opportunities arise.  The rise of Artificial Intelligence will help improve productivity and lead to equitable development. Aiming to put AI to use for all and across sectors, NITI has identified barriers that need to be addressed to achieve success in the use of AI. These include lack of expertise, the absence of enabling data ecosystem, high resource cost and low awareness, privacy and security issues and absence of collaborative approach to adoption and application of AI. Recognising the importance of research and its commercial adoption in the success of AI, NITI has also proposed setting up of Centre of Research Excellence (CORE) to focus on developing a better understanding of existing core research. Besides this, the strategy paper also recommends setting up of International Centres of Transformational AI with a mandate to develop and deploy application-based research in collaboration with private players.
