New Delhi : When inquired about his usage of various AI tools, like Google’s Bard and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar replied that he was everywhere.
“My presence is everywhere. At this Saturday’s CNBC-TV18 and Moneycontrol Global AI Conclave, Chandrasekhar declared, “I am also on the dark web.”
The minister also stated at the Conclave that India’s advancement in artificial intelligence (AI) could be attributed to technological talent rather than computer power driven by chips.
“Fifteen years ago you measured academic institutions by how many students got hired by Google or went abroad. Now it is about what kind of platforms the students of a particular institution are building for the world,” Chandrasekhar said.
“Talent is a much more fundamental challenge in AI. We need universities to churn out masters and PhDs in AI. Talent is something that keeps me awake at night. The infrastructure pieces will get solved very quickly,” he added.
Earlier this week, Chandrasekhar said that there is a serious need for the tech industry and academic institutions to work along with the governments globally in shaping the future pipeline of talent for AI-related jobs.
