While several major technology companies are lending a hand to budding engineers and existing employees to upskill them in new technologies amidst talent crunch, global chip maker Intel India is on a mission to demystify artificial intelligence (AI) for all age groups, different levels of students, citizens and researchers with its skilling programmes in India. As of today, the company has already trained over 2 lakh students between 8th standard and 12th standard in AI and has upskilled 5,000 government officials. In July this year, Intel launched another programme'AI for All' with a target of enabling over one million citizens with knowledge and know-how of AI, Nivruti Rai, Country Head, Intel India told BusinessLine. "Talent is a critical need for Intel and everybody else. AI is important and will generate even more jobs. Yet AI is a black box and many people talk about it without really understanding the technology. So, we first trained all our Intel employees. Then, we started looking to train students, government officials and citizens," Rai said.

New Delhi, Oct 15 (IANS) Chip giant Intel on Thursday said that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is essential to the future of work in the post-pandemic world, with over 90 per cent respondents in a survey considering AI to be essential or highly relevant to their businesses in India. More than 40 per cent of small and micro revenue firms are using AI for decision support while in medium sized firms, nearly 50 per cent rely entirely on human decision-making as they still do not use AI, revealed the report by Intel India based on two surveys in the country. Conducted by the Srini Raju Centre for Information Technology and the Networked Economy (SRITNE) at Indian School of Business (ISB), the Suitability of Machine Learning (SML) survey had 3,099 employees across 106 Indian occupations, and the'AI and Future of Work' survey had 301 firms across sectors that have adopted AI/machine learning (ML) in their workflows. Over 70 per cent of respondents across various firm categories expect their organisational headcount to increase in response to AI over the next two years while a similar number indicated the growth of all firm-level initiatives to support AI adoption. "There is a need to better understand AI's integration and impact at work in order to accelerate innovation and scale its benefits, especially in the context of emerging economies such as India," said Nivruti Rai, Country Head, Intel India and Vice President, Data Platforms Group, Intel Corporation.

Intel India said it had partnered IIIT Hyderabad, Public Health Foundation of India and the Telangana government to unveil a research centre to focus on leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to solve India's population-scale challenges in sectors such as healthcare and smart mobility.The applied AI research centre, INAI, here will act as a catalyst to accelerate India's leadership in AI while creating national assets such as curated data sets and computing infrastructure with the aim to attract global talent for high-impact research towards social sector development, Intel India said. In his address, Union IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said India was bound to be a robust player in AI application as data was the'oxygen' for AI and India's huge population, along with a robust digital ecosystem, was going to generate huge amounts of data.He, however, added that the AI ecosystem must be kept free from biases. "AI has the great potential [for]of face recognition. But the facial recognition process should not show any bias of colour or ethnicity," he reasoned.Mr. Prasad also said the government was keen that data of Indians remained protected and "therefore, certain… standards are …
