Infosys cofounder N R Narayana Murthy on Wednesday sought to calm the “exaggerated” hype around artificial intelligence (AI) in India, noting that many systems being labelled AI were nothing more than old programming.
“I think somehow it has become a fashion in India to talk of AI for everything. I have seen several normal, ordinary programs touted as AI,” he remarked at TiECon Mumbai, an annual conference of entrepreneurs.
