Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has said that Artificial Intelligence technology should only be used for the development and peace of humanity.
He said, the timely infusion of technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Big Data in the defence sector is the need of the hour to stay level with the technological curve. Mr Singh today launched 75 newly-developed Artificial Intelligence products during the first-ever symposium and exhibition on Artificial Intelligence in Defence in New Delhi.
The products are in the domains of automation, robotics systems, cyber security, human behaviour analysis, intelligent monitoring system, logistics and supply chain management, Computer and Intelligence and Operational Data Analytics. The product was launched as part of the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ celebrations. The Minister described Artificial Intelligence as a revolutionary step in the development of humanity.
Mr Singh pointed out that Artificial Intelligence has built inroads in almost every sector, including defence, health and medicine, agriculture, trade and commerce and transport. He called upon all the defence stakeholders to enhance the jointness of human consciousness and the ability of Artificial Intelligence to bring a radical change in the sector. He said, Artificial Intelligence – enabled military devices are capable of handling large amounts of data efficiently. He said, it is also proving to be very helpful in training the soldiers. Mr Singh hoped that India will soon be among the leading countries in the field of Artificial Intelligence.
The Defence Minister said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had said that whoever becomes the leader in the sphere of Artificial Intelligence will become the ruler of the world. He said, India, however, does not want to become a world ruler as it believes that the whole world is one family.
