CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Tech giant IBM and the Kerala state government came together to host India’s first GenAI conclave at the Grand Hyatt in Kochi on July 11-12. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan inaugurated the event and said that the state was gearing up to roll out AI education from the school level.
Vijayan said that the government recognised the possibilities of Industry 4.0 and was hopeful of harnessing it. Industry 4.0 is generally defined as “the integration of intelligent digital technologies into manufacturing and industrial processes.” The intelligent digital technologies referred to include industrial Internet of Things networks, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, robotics and automation among other things.
Vijayan also cautioned the gathering to be mindful of the possible misuse of AI, as is the case with every technology. “As the saying goes, the brighter the light, the darker the shadow,” the chief minister said.
