India may lose to China & USA in AI Race (Artificial Intelligence)


I am an Indian and I am worried. USA has just funded a college at MIT for Artificial Intelligence (AI) with 1 Billion USD. China is investing heavily in AI too. Why it is time for India to act now?

When industrial revolution started in 18th century, most of European and American countries lead the world with industries in automobiles, clothing, construction etc. and their economies got strong with capitalism. But with the invention of internet, knowledge & information  is being shared across the globe and created many Tech/Knowledge based entrepreneurs across the globe. USA was ahead of times which resulted in silicon valley with tech giants like Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft and many more. They became the super-power of the world. Indians started contracting them for IT Work. We are just like work-horses for them. India's economy had a boost with IT exports. But AI has arrived. AI is not a technology. It is intelligence which can make decisions, solve problems, plan things, create abstract things just like human intelligence. The only difference is we are biological, it is artificial. Currently 56 countries are in the race of creating AI Robots to replace or help soliders in wars. Most of the jobs inthe world are going to be replaced - Delivery boys to drone delivery, Chefs to Robotic Kitchens, Drivers to Driverless cars. Without investing in these AI technlogies, India may lose the race. Today I spoke to students of Rainbow International School on AI to prepare them for future. We don't want India to lose the race, do we? Lets save India together.  

Lets educate our students. Join the movement to make India a super-power.
