Self-driving cars, facial recognition, web search, missile guidance, and tumor detection are all complex real-world problems being solved with Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. India is armed with a bustling AI ecosystem, and together with the demographic dividend, the country is well positioned to become a world leader in AI. To retain its competitive advantage, however, India needs to be viewed as the global hub for digital talent. This is possible only by training the young engineers for the requirements of Industry 4.0.
