Meity addl secy says govt funding for deeptech, AI initiatives insufficient
MeitY additional secretary Abhishek Singh said government support is designed to catalyse innovation
India risks losing its long-held edge in global technology services unless large technology firms sharply increase investment in artificial intelligence (AI), a senior government official warned on Wednesday.
Additional Secretary at the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (Meity) Abhishek Singh said government funding for deeptech and AI initiatives is insufficient on its own and must be matched by industry capital to safeguard the sector’s competitiveness as machine-driven coding tools advance.
The stakes, he warned, are high. India’s IT services industry — built over the past three decades on the strength of its software engineering talent — is facing direct pressure from rapid advances in machine intelligence.
