R&D has to be stepped up by industry and academia, say experts at the ‘AI for India ‘ summit in Bengaluru

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 28 (ANI): Research & Development (R&D) has to be stepped up by the industry and academia, which is a constant pain point, highlighted experts in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) during a fireside chat at the ongoing ‘AI for India’ event in Bengaluru.

“This is an opportunity. R&D must step up, and this effort needs to be implemented across the industry and in academia. I must empathise with the industry; there are pain points they face in adapting to changes, not just AI, but to pretty much anything disruptive. So we need industries to step up, but we also need academia to step up, and this is an opportunity,” said Ganesh Ramakrishnan, Professor at IIT Bombay.
