Google wants to nurture AI and ML ecosystem in India

Artificial intelligence has the potential to improve people's lives in profound ways -- from helping diagnose diseases and breaking down language barriers to making businesses more efficient. Google believes that AI will help tackle huge challenges like healthcare, environmental protection and other social and developmental problems, while also spurring innovation for businesses and developers. The opportunity is huge and not constrained by location – a company in Bangalore or Gurgaon could serve the whole world. In fact, a recent report by Accenture concluded that India, by embracing AI technologies could add nearly $1 trillion to its GDP by 2035. India already has some of the key ingredients to becoming a major force in leading the next generation of disruptive innovation in machine learning (ML): a tech-savvy talent pool, renowned universities, healthy levels of entrepreneurship and strong corporations.
