From classrooms to careers, human capital takes centre stage in India’s AI push
NEW DELHI: From retooling classrooms to future-proofing jobs, India’s artificial intelligence strategy is decisively shifting towards people-first reform. Senior policymakers, academic leaders and industry experts on Monday flagged lifelong learning, human augmentation and inclusive skilling as central to India’s AI journey at a high-level Human Capital Working Group meeting hosted at IIT Guwahati.
The two-day meeting (January 5–6), jointly organised by the ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY), the IndiaAI Mission, the Assam government and IIT Guwahati, is expected to shape policy inputs for the India AI Impact Summit 2026 scheduled in New Delhi next month.
