Adaptive artificial intelligence must for smart cities

HYDERABAD: For India's smart city initiative to succeed there is a need to build artificial intelligence (AI) systems that are adaptive in nature. This was the theme set at the "Artificial intelligence and society" symposium held at International Institute of Technology (IIIT) on Saturday. "The first computer came to India in 1964. We have moved a long way from there. In 1968 we went for government permission to use computers in Mumbai electrical grid, it took us one year to negotiate and implement. We were among the first countries to do it," said FC Kohli, founder of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS).
