New York: Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision around artificial intelligence (AI) and how he is pushing tech leaders to use it to address the most-pressing issues on the ground, Google is not only making a robust investment in AI in India, but also looking forward to infusing more capital in the country, Alphabet and Google CEO, Sundar Pichai, said.
Speaking on the sidelines of the CEOs’ roundtable with PM Modi here, Pichai said he is overwhelmed at the Prime Minister’s focus on transforming the country with ‘Digital India’ vision.
