Google to expand AI initiatives in India, targeting language barriers, agricultural efficiency
Kolkata: Google is intensifying its focus on India with the introduction of advanced AI tools aimed at breaking down language barriers and enhancing agricultural practices, a senior company official said. Abhishek Bapna, Director of Product Management at Google DeepMind, highlighted the importance of reducing language barriers in India’s economic development.
“Language is very essential for economic development. For instance, a language barrier should not hinder someone from explaining their medical issues to a doctor or accessing banking services,” Bapna said during his short visit to IIM Calcutta.
