Digital India & AI Revolution

Building an Inclusive, Intelligent and Self-Reliant Nation

Author: Jaikesh Singh Rajput

India is living through two major transformations at the same time: the expansion of digital infrastructure and the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence.

Digital India & AI Revolution examines how these two transformations connect and how they can contribute to a more inclusive, intelligent and self-reliant India.
