India has the opportunity to leapfrog and show the way to the world when it comes to innovative AI applications, said experts at a workshop on artificial intelligence in Bengaluru.
“Just as we have embraced AI in different formats for our regular lives from maps to voice search and its integration with other applications, we believe with the right innovative business models, it could add significant value to the MSME manufacturing sector,” said Sanjeev Sharma, Managing Director, ABB India, while addressing the workshop organised jointly by NITI Aayog and ABB India recently.
