Artificial Intelligence, as we know it, has sharply evolved in the last 12-18 months. Recent advancements in generative AI and availability of sophisticated multi-billion para­meter models has brought AI to real-life applications ranging from search to language translation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech at the Kashi Tamil Sangamam that featured real-time translation of his Hindi speech into Tamil represents how far AI has come in a short time. AI is probably the most significant invention of our times and promises to be even more disruptive and transformational than the arrival of the Internet.
