New Delhi, Sep 19
As the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI) surges worldwide, India is set to play a pivotal role in its use to accelerate social and economic progress, the government said on Thursday.
Dr Neeraj Mittal, Secretary, Department of Telecommunications (DoT), said that globally, AI and GenAI are evolving rapidly and the world is witnessing their remarkable potential.
“This year, India will host ‘World Telecom Standardization Telecom Assembly (WTSA-2024)’ along with India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2024 in New Delhi, where WTSA-2024 will play a critical role in shaping the standardization practices of evolving technologies including AI,” said Mittal.
IMC 2024, from October 15-October 18 at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi, is expected to have over 50 global and Indian speakers for discussion on multiple facets of AI and GenAI, spanning across 11 diverse discussions.
IMC 2024 and International Telecommunication Union (ITU) will also organise a special daylong session on ‘AI for Good’, where experts and delegates from around the world will deliberate on the subject.
Ramakrishna P, CEO of IMC 2024, said India is at the centre-stage of technology evolution and plays a critical role.
