"... of course we need AI. We (India) must become world leaders in AI. But above all, we need empathy and compassion even more," Ambani said. "By combining intelligence with empathy, prosperity with purpose, India can present a new model of development to the rest of the world," the richest Indian said.

AI double-edged sword in education: Expert calls for ensuring data privacy

Jaipuria, Chairman of the Seth Anandram Jaipuria Group of Educational Institutions, said the purpose of education is to nurture knowledgeable, skilled, conscientious and emotionally strong individuals who go on to make a positive impact on society, but the rat race defeats it and pushes students to take extreme steps.

AI adoption in MSMEs can unlock over $500 bn economic value: Report

Adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in India's 64 million Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) alone could unlock over USD 500 billion in economic value, but the country must pivot from an "adopt-first" to an "invent-first" mindset to realise this potential, according to a new report. The report, titled "India's Triple AI Imperative: Succeeding with AI in India", released by Boston Consulting Group (BCGX) and Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI), noted that while India has one of the world's fastest-growing AI markets, it faces significant gaps in deep innovation and value realisation.
