Artificial Intelligence to Boost India's Annual Growth by 1.3 Percent Analytics Insight

PM Narendra Modi's government is expected to launch a national artificial intelligence programme soon. The programme will see the formation of a task force under the leadership of Principal Scientific Advisor K Vijay Raghavan. This force will identify projects and initiatives in which to implement AI technology. Recently, a long-standing clash between government think-tank NITI Aayog and Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) on which department will anchor the AI project, has ended. Since Finance Ministry has approved NITI Aayog's Rs 7000 crore plan, the much-awaited proposed policy can finally come into existence.
