#AI for All will aim at enhancing and empowering human capabilities to address the challenges of access, affordability, shortage and inconsistency of skilled expertise; effective implementation of AI initiatives to evolve scalable solutions for emerging economies; and endeavors to tackle some of the global challenges from AIs perspective be it application, research, development, technology, or responsible AI. #AIforAll will focus on harnessing collaborations and partnerships, and aspires to ensure prosperity for all. Thus, #AIforAll means technology leadership in AI for achieving the greater good.

NITI Aayog has decided to focus on five sectors that are envisioned to benefit the most from AI in solving societal needs:

Healthcare: increased access and affordability of quality healthcare,

Agriculture: enhanced farmers income, increased farm productivity and reduction of wastage, Education: improved access and quality of education,

Smart Cities and Infrastructure: efficient and connectivity for the burgeoning urban population, and

Smart Mobility and Transportation: smarter and safer modes of transportation and address traffic and congestion problems.

AI is being seen as a technology with the potential to transform the economy.  The highlight of the event would be discussion and outcome of the Government of India policy on National Strategy on Artificial Intelligence titled  #AI for All as it is focused on leveraging AI for inclusive growth in line with the Government policy.

At the event, experts from industry and academia will be sharing their knowledge on the latest trends in AI and ML around the globe.
