India is well positioned to use artificial intelligence (AI) to make software development more productive in the country, Google said in a blogpost on Monday.
They delved into unique opportunities and ethical considerations for AI in India, and the country’s position as a leader in responsible AI innovation.
According to Dr. Jeff Dean, Chief Scientist, Google DeepMind and Google Research, India can capitalise on AI due to its strong foundation in engineering and computer science.
He emphasised the importance of education and skill development in AI for students and software developers.
“Young students in India are eager to understand the shift from more traditional computer science to learned based approaches for solving all kinds of problems. You’re going to see more students wanting to enter this kind of study and field of endeavor,” Dean said.
“AI is going to make software development much more productive, and India is especially well positioned in this space,” he added.
Dean noted that AI also has the potential to bridge gaps in underserved communities. AI also has a big role in healthcare and education — from its ability to personalise education and provide greater access, to enabling doctors to make more informed medical decisions, Dean said.
He also stressed on the need for checks and balances as AI becomes increasingly widespread.
