Earlier this month, Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella visited India, highlighting the country’s growing importance in the development and deployment of AI. The CEO said that India is second only to the US in terms of the total number of developers on GitHub and will surpass it by 2027. “India is a place where the momentum around developers and development is incredible,” Nadella said. He told a packed crowd of developers at an event in Bangalore on Thursday.
The underlying theme of this high-stakes event was to democratize AI, make it more accessible, and transform lives and society as a whole. This sentiment holds true today as IDC provides pioneering research and development across a variety of domains, including AI applications.
Gates has been one of the most vocal advocates for the proliferation of AI. The 68-year-old has repeatedly listed the benefits of the buzzing technology, but also warned of the potential risks. The billionaire details his thoughts on AI on his blog.
