Telangana Hyderabad can emerge as India's AI Robotics Hub - Experts
The majority of tech companies in the US are run by Indians, who have made significant contributions to the development of technology in the US, according to Ann LaFrance, vice-president of the international Institute of Communications and an expert in the fields of cross-data-border data protection, e-privacy, and cyber security issues.
The US Department of State's Foreign press Centre and Meridian international Centre organized the media interaction sessions as part of the international reporting tour (IRT) on "Innovations in Tech Policy and Navigating Artificial Intelligence" that took place in Boston, Detroit, and Washington, DC, from september 6 to september 16.
LaFrance remarked, "It's great that india now has two tech hubs, Bengaluru and Hyderabad." She was referring to the growth of hyderabad as an indian technological hub, with the presence of notable corporations like US-based Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, among others. More investments in AI, robotics, and machine learning are anticipated to be attracted by Hyderabad's expanding infrastructure and robust talent pool.
LaFrance said of the latest data privacy law the indian government introduced last month: "While some countries already brought such Acts, some other countries are in the process of bringing such Acts." As examples of evolving legal frameworks to regulate AI and manage data flow, she cited the EU General Data Protection Regulation of 2016, the Draught EU AI Act and AI Liability Act of 2021 (Bill pending), the Biden Administration Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights of 2022, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework of 2023, and the comprehensive privacy laws of california and Colorado (2019–2023).
Professor of computer and cognitive science at Tufts university in Boston, Dr. Matthias Scheutz, stated: "The advancements in the business sector and a few research institutes in india in the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics have been praiseworthy. To make an impact on the world stage, india must work diligently on its policy and regulatory framework. india has a solid IT foundation that might support the growth of the robotics sector there. india has to make the most of its advantages to strengthen its position in robotics.
Prof. Scheutz proposed that india may boost up its efforts to utilise robotics technology in the manufacturing, metals, textiles, aerospace, and automotive industries. According to him, india has a great deal of potential to become a major global player in the robotics industry.
