Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella on Wednesday made a case for India to undertake frontier research in artificial intelligence (AI), emphasising the nation's strong mathematical talent base. Addressing concerns about job losses due to AI, Nadella said such fears are overstated, as the technology will create new opportunities.
Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, Jitin Prasada, who joined a fireside chat with Nadella here, cautioned about AI's risks, including fake content, but stressed the government's commitment to balancing innovation and regulation. "If the challenges become bigger, the government will not hesitate to come out with new legislation," he said. Microsoft India President Puneet Chandhok was also part of the discussion.
