Vision Digital India, A.P. govt. sign MoU to set up AI training centres

Indian tech firm Vision Digital India and the Andhra Pradesh government have joined forces to establish artificial intelligence (AI) training centers in collaboration with select educational institutions, as reported by a wire service. The memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed by Vision Digital India chairman Harikrishna Maram alongside Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and IT and Education Minister Nara Lokesh at the CII Partnership Summit in Visakhapatnam.

Harikrishna Maram emphasized that the initiative aimed to provide practical AI training to thousands of young individuals in Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam, and other regions of the state. He reassured the public that human intelligence would remain superior to artificial intelligence and that AI would not lead to significant job losses, despite the initial disruptions caused by technological advancements.

The company has already signed MoUs with various educational institutions in Vizianagaram and expressed optimism that the planned training facilities would prove beneficial to students from marginalized backgrounds as well.
