The world is evolving quickly and with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI), our everyday activities can now be carried out effectively. AI is no longer a thing of science fiction, it exists in the world all around us. AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed and mimic their actions. Future era is the era of AI and we need digitally skilled youth, as youth is the backbone of every society. India has the world’s largest youth population and without a doubt, it will be one of the superpowers leading the world with the power of AI.
