With several leaders raising concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact, NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant on Thursday said it is going to transform the life of human beings. "The challenge in India is very different to the Western world. We believe AI is going to transform the life of human beings," Kant said here at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting. "How do you provide better data, images to your doctors, how do you track individual students who are not performing well so you can improve learning outcomes. AI needs to be accessed in a very scientific manner for transforming lives of citizens," he said.

When it comes to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, we seem to be entering a golden age. According to a Research Report by PwC, business leaders believe that AI is going to be fundamental in the future. In fact, 72% termed it a "business advantage." The big players in the tech game like Google and IBM are in the process of creating ground-breaking technologies that will transform life as we know it.

'Brain-computer interface' allows people to control a robotic arm with their mind Uses signal processing, machine learning to convert'thoughts' into actions Researchers say it's the first time it's been done without use of a brain implant'Brain-computer interface' allows people to control a robotic arm with their mind Uses signal processing, machine learning to convert'thoughts' into actions Researchers say it's the first time it's been done without use of a brain implant To use it, operators must wear a high-tech EEG cap equipped with 64 electrodes. The system uses advanced signal processing and machine learning to convert'thoughts' into actions, allowing them to reach and grasp objects without ever lifting a hand Transform your selfie into a 3D avatar: Startup uses...
