India Moves Forward in the Race of Artificial Intelligence

The IT sector of India has always been a hub of great minds and it has played a vital role in the economic growth of the country. Around 2018, the government think-tank, National Institution for Transforming India (NITI) Aayog emphasized the development of AI research in the IT sectors. This development came on the heels of the launch of a Task Force on Artificial Intelligence for India's economic transformation by the Commerce and Industry Department of the Government of India in 2017. Since then, AI is gradually being adopted in every sector of India. Experts' reviews show that healthcare and agriculture are so far among the most important sectors of focus to improve living conditions for India's citizens.
