Artificial Intelligence (AI) is all about simulating human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. The field involves developing algorithms for a dynamically changing environment. In 1763, Prof. Thomas Bayes developed a framework for reasoning the probability of occurrence of a future event based on the probabilities of prior events; to Prof. John McCarthy, who introduced Artificial intelligence to the world in 1956, AI has seen many implementations and research challenges. The field is in continuous transition to achieve maturity to handle the 21st-century requirements of industries and society.
According to a Mckinsey report, telecommunication, automotive, and financial services are high-end adopters of AI. Retail industries, Media/entertainment, and CPG, are the middle-level adopters, whereas education, health care, and travel/tourism industries are low-end adopters, as the industries achieve digital maturity, the levels of these adoptions also vary.
AI & ML empower enterprise-level problem solving with the application of cutting-edge technologies with a true sense of digital transformation, reducing the production/service costs, an increased degree of customer satisfaction with quality outcomes. With an increased budgetary provision for AI & ML technologies R&D, developed and developing countries have targeted achieving AI supremacy in the coming decade. The Govt. of India, in its Budget 2020, has created provisions for Rs. 3000 crores for AI skills development, digitalization of 100,000 Gram Panchayat through the Bharatnet initiative, setting up data center parks across the country and so on.
AI & ML impact us and our society in many ways, including social, economic, legal, political, and regulatory impacts. AI-integrated solutions have occupied many daily activities, and AI push is already seen in industrial growth rates. Many countries have started publicizing their National-level AI strategies, including the Indian AI stack by NITI Aayog. Indian AI stack has proposed to adopt a three-pronged approach, which includes creating proof-of-concept of AI projects in various areas, building an AI-based start-up ecosystem in India, and Collaborating with experts and stakeholders.
