The National Informatics Center has established a Center for Excellence in AI with computing facilities in Delhi and Kolkata. As per the Minister, AI will be offered as a service through Mehraj Cloud with 5 and 7 AI PFlops.
Technology without a doubt is advancing more quickly and getting used for more ideas. Despite conflicting judgments of top leaders and founders, one thing constant is Technology. We are all aware by this point that AI is here to stay and that necessary adaptation will be needed. Some changes may not sound very welcoming that's why staying alert is the need of the hour.
