Yalahanka, Bengaluru: ‘Artificial Intelligence is not just another technological advancement; it is a fundamental force reshaping every aspect of human existence. It works as catalyst reducing the hard work of a researcher, common man or an academician to move ahead in their respective domains. It will enhance our creative thinking to solve global challenges. The institutions of technology should prepare our students to use this tool to take a step forward not only in shaping their own Country but also the whole World with ethical values. I am delighted to share with all of you that Prime Minister would soon grant Rupees One Lakh Crores exclusively for Research and Development activities in the field of Technology across India for the progress of the Nation.
