'India Matters for AI… India is now moving from a 'back office' for software production to a 'powerhouse' in AI development and delivery. India focused on becoming a 'back office' for software production, its next generation of AI production and distribution. This will be impressive.

The best digital infrastructure… is the best opportunity for India. Because the population is high here and there are also a large number of computer engineers. The need of the hour is that India should create its own AI. Apart from America and China, it has the best digital connectivity infrastructure.

Learning from India… Whenever I come to India, I benefit from learning about Deep Learning and Machine Learning. The approach to creating software is outdated. English to Hindi translation, going from photo to pixel, etc. learned how to present information in different ways. This fundamental shift from one method to another has given rise to many start-ups all over the world.

Impact on jobs… AI will not completely eliminate jobs but will change the type of performance. A person who uses AI to do the job properly will surely take away the job.
