What’s New: Today at the inaugural all.ai 2020 Virtual
Summit, Intel India in collaboration with the government of
Telangana, International Institute of Information Technology,
Hyderabad (IIIT-H) and Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI)
announced the launch of INAI, an applied artificial intelligence
(AI) research center in Hyderabad. INAI is an initiative to apply
AI to population scale problems in the Indian context, with a focus
on identifying and solving challenges in the healthcare and smart
mobility segments through strong ecosystem collaboration.
“With its unique strengths of talent,
technology, data availability, and the potential for
population-scale AI adoption, India has this tremendous opportunity
to lead human-centric applications and democratize AI for the
world. Our aspiration is to make AI synonymous with India as we
strive to achieve the true potential of AI in critical segments
like healthcare, smart mobility and the future of work by advancing
innovation, research, technology and skills. The launch of the
Applied AI Research Center, initiatives to train students on AI
readiness skills and the all.ai 2020 Summit reinforce our
commitment towards realizing the exponential impact of AI in an
inclusive, collaborative and responsible manner.” –Nivruti Rai,
Intel country head for India and vice president of the Data
Platforms Group
How It Will Work: INAI will act as a catalyst to
accelerate India’s leadership in AI by driving innovation and
entrepreneurship, creating national assets such as curated
datasets, computing infrastructure, tools and frameworks with the
aim to attract global talent for high-impact research towards
social sector development. This collaborative effort, championed by
Intel and catalyzed by the Government of Telangana, is anchored at
IIIT-H and brings multiple institutions together to work on
solutions that have societal-scale impact. PHFI is the founding
healthcare partner in this initiative.
Why It Matters: As India continues its transformation,
adoption of technology-led innovations becomes important to solve
the country’s societal challenges in the critical areas of
healthcare, smart mobility and the future of work. The need of the
hour is for industry, government, academia and the public to work
together to support development of technology with thoughtful
consideration of its application in an ethical and inclusive
manner. INAI will leverage the broader computing strengths and
academic expertise of IIIT-H, the technology leadership and
architecture strength of Intel, the public health expertise of
PHFI, as well as expertise from other domain and technology players
to drive targeted outcomes in technology innovation,
entrepreneurship development, job creation and international
collaboration.
“The launch of INAI, the Applied AI Research Center in
Hyderabad, is a key milestone in our digitalization journey,” said
Sri K. T. Rama Rao, Hon’ble Minister for IT, Industries, MA &
UD, government of Telangana. “I strongly believe it is imperative
for all ecosystem stakeholders to collectively work with a
synchronous effort towards realizing our AI vision for enabling
better governance and elevating quality of life for our
people.”
In the smart mobility domain, INAI will advance research in the
area of road safety with the aim of using AI to reduce road
accidents and fatalities in the country. In the area of public
health, the center will work to enable solutions to extend health
coverage to every individual and advance research for better
prediction of non-communicable diseases.
