IBM India chief says country ‘must reskill millions of young IT talent’ if it wants to lead global AI race

AI continues to reshape the global technology landscape at a rapid pace, and instead of shedding the human workforce, the country should prioritise training its workforce to handle modern AI tools with ease at an unprecedented scale, believes IBM’s India head.

According to Sandip Patel, Managing Director of IBM India and South Asia, India must urgently prioritise large-scale upskilling of its young IT talent if it hopes to capitalise on its unique advantages and emerge as a dominant leader in the global AI economy.
