THE PROMISE OF AI FOR INDIA AND THE WORLD

EVERY TECHNOLOGY SHIFT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADVANCE SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY, ACCELERATE HUMAN PROGRESS AND IMPROVE LIVES. AI WILL DO THIS ON AN UNPRECEDENTED SCALE AND INDIA IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO PLAY A LEADING ROLE

In 2019, Google introduced a reading tutor app for young students in India, powered by Artificial Intelligence. Seeing a classroom full of children discovering a love for books with the help of AI was a moment I’ll never forget. By that time, Google had been investing in the underlying technology and breakthroughs for several years. But being in the classroom that day gave me an even clearer sense of AI’s potential to improve lives—and the deep responsibility we have to get it right.

Fast forward to today. Millions of people are using generative AI-powered tools that didn’t exist a year ago. Tools like Bard, our conversational AI interface, which people across the country are using in nine different Indian languages, or our generative AI search experience, called SGE, to get answers to complex questions in both English and Hindi. Yet we are still only in the very early stages of a shift that will drive new waves of innovation, accelerate economic progress and create opportunities for people everywhere.

OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO MAKE AI MORE POWERFUL FOR EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD
