My new piece in Forbes.com explores how AI in India is being developed by the combination of India’s thriving startup and tech sectors and university partnerships. The AI ecosystem in India includes new universities such as the Jio Insitute, founded as a philanthropic effort by Reliance Industries, and the new Universal AI University. The piece also includes quotes from an interview with Shailesh Kumar, the Dean of Jio’s AI and Data Science program. It includes some impressive ways AI is already impacting India’s healthcare, agriculture, and education systems. These impacts will also have larger ramifications for the world as other countries in the Global South adopt similar AI systems for their development.
