When it comes to digital transformation, a term that has almost become synonymous with it is Artificial Intelligence. The technology has made an impact on almost every aspect of every business. The scale of importance artificial intelligence holds in the current space can be gauged by the fact that even the Government of India announced special initiatives for it in the Union Budget 2019. A National Programme on'Artificial Intelligence' has been envisioned by the government, which would be catalysed by the establishment of the National Centre on Artificial Intelligence as a hub along with Centres of Excellence. Also, nine priority areas have been identified for the same and a National Artificial Intelligence portal will be developed soon.
