Addressed 'National Science Day' seminar at University of Kashmir. Paid tributes to renowned scientist Sir CV Raman. Emphasized on promotion of advancements in science & technology, knowledge exchange and to foster creativity, innovation for a sustainable future. Urged all the Universities of J&K UT to set up Artificial Intelligence Labs for cutting-edge research & innovation. AI Lab will be a separate entity within Science & Technology Dept through multidisciplinary collaboration with industry, researchers, educators & technologists. We cannot imagine a future without AI. It will have profound impact on every aspect of our lives and that's why it is critical to enable our youth to develop their AI knowledge, reskilling & upskilling of workforce to keep up with AI trends and to make J&K UT more competitive. AI Labs in the Universities will directly coordinate with local industries for integration of new discoveries & innovation of AI into businesses. The research will also focus on current status of AI use and ways to enhance its adoption to boost productivity & profit : LG Manoj Sinha Ji
