Mission to make AI work for all Indians
AI is making rapid strides in its capabilities, moving from simple data related tasks to providing front facing consumer applications. It won’t be wrong to say that we are entering an era where humans and AI will coexist, to further enhance human development.

DataDaan
Democratising access to data as a public good for startups, researchers and developers
India is making rapid strides towards emerging as a global leader in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning innovation. However, researchers and innovators alone cannot create a flourishing AI/ML ecosystem and generate data-based solutions. A holistic, supportive, and harmonious ecosystem is essential. A key challenge for this innovation ecosystem is the need for more access to high-quality local data.
Therefore, India should launch a nationwide programme, ‘#DataDaan’, for voluntary data sharing for training of AI models and innovation.
Past Events on AI
