This is one of the most important conversations on Artificial Intelligence pertaining to India’s circumstances and future. Dr. Vijayraghavan is the Indian Government’s Chief Scientific Advisor, reporting directly to the Prime Minister. To prepare for this conversation, he did a thorough reading of the hard copy edition of the recent book, “Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Power”, and used Kindle searches for deeper dives. The candid, open-minded brainstorm between the two subject-matter experts provides deep insights into India’s challenges on many fronts as well as the opportunities. They discuss: the inadequacy of privacy laws relying on anonymity and physical location of data servers; sentiment analysis of group psychology; intellectual property rights developed using anonymous data; modelling specific communities; big data laws versus implementation. They raise complex questions like, is data democracy real or asymmetric? The nature of swarm intelligence and gamification. Should India focus on engineering design rather than domestic manufacturing. The Military-Industry-Academics Complex is explained as a key strength of USA and China. AI reports on India tend to be elitist from top-down view only. Is India headed toward a crash of civilization? Should there be population control plans? Democracy needs popular policies and do these prevent long-term plans requiring short-term sacrifices. Clearly, there is a lot of potential for future collaboration.
