India’s IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw recently hinted at a big announcement in the near future in the context of conversational AI tools. To a specific question on whether India can build something equivalent to the prominent conversational AI tool ChatGPT, the minister said “wait for a few weeks, there will be a big announcement”. He declined to give further details.
One of the world’s leading AI chatbot tools, ChatGPT, has been making waves with its conversational skills. The San Francisco-based artificial intelligence company OpenAI created it, and it is capable of providing definitive answers to user-asked questions, instantaneously generating scripts, speeches, song lyrics, homework material, articles, marketing copy, classroom essays and even draft abstracts for research papers.
It is highly anticipated what the upcoming ” big announcement” by Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw pertains to. Many are conjecturing that India is preparing to launch a similar AI chatbot technology with more advanced features and capabilities. This can be an exciting development for the field of Artificial Intelligence and the possibilities this technology provides in the long run.
The IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw is a member of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology and is the current Minister of State. Prior to this, he served as the Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, where he worked on several initiatives related to the technological advancement of the country. Having an experienced man like him at the helm of these decisions can mean a lot of technological advances and an influx of innovation.
Meanwhile, the Bank of Baroda is making news by allowing and allowing credit card payments through UPI. This will enable users to make their payments easily, securely, and hassle-free with minimum transaction charges. The RBI is also likely to pause interest rates at the upcoming April policy meet, as highlighted by the SBI Research.
Many tech giants have been pouring money into Artificial Intelligence and the development of smarter conversational AI tools. If India too is stepping up in this race, then it would signify a huge step forward in the country’s technological journey. We have to wait for the minister’s big announcement for gathering more information about the same.
