Speaking to an audience of over 700 stakeholders from the ecosystem, he said, "I think as a nation, we have accepted that there will be a huge disruption. Artificial intelligence has come to stay. Possibly, there are some theories and reports that tell us that some ecosystems have been able to get a little bit of a head start on us. But, as I am learning more and more about artificial intelligence, it's possibilities, how it can impact life, how can we use it for public good, how it can help us, if we adopt in the right way, if we start reskilling and retraining our minds towards the good parts of artificial intelligence. It can actually become a game changer in our fight against poverty. It can actually provide new ways of delivering goods and services to the remote parts of the country. So that every single young child born in this country will have a good childhood and see possibilities ahead of him, both in the country and across the world. We don't become the talent capital of the world. We will become the provider of innovation of new ideas to the world. If we can look at, our talented young boys and girls re-skilling to understand the nuances of artificial intelligence, quickly enough, and we can provide the necessary resources, computing capability, capital, you can truly make India and every Indian recognise that this is the place to be in, this is the place to come and invest in, if you want to see what global good AI can make do."
