Intel India and the government's IndiaAI mission have joined hands to launch an initiative focused on bolstering AI capabilities and skills nationwide.

The partnership, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), aims to empower young individuals, professionals, startups, and public sector leaders, enabling them to leverage AI's potential for societal advancement and effective governance.

The MoU establishes a framework for collaboration between Intel India and the IndiaAI Mission to promote targeted initiatives that will assist students, startups, and public sector leaders in cultivating and utilizing AI skills and expertise for social benefit and effective governance.

The partnership will concentrate on four main initiatives: YuvaAI, StartupAI, IndiaAI Dialogues, and facilitating Bhashini to extend to remote areas.

YuvaAI, via the Intel AI for Youth initiative, will empower school students to create AI-driven solutions that have a social impact.

StartupAI will assist AI startups by providing access to technology, business advice, and go-to-market mentorship through the Intel Startup Program, utilizing both group workshops and personalized mentorship.

Aimed at enhancing AI preparedness among public sector leaders and policy professionals, the India AI Dialogues and Intel Digital Readiness for Leaders initiative will provide workshops for effective policymaking and hands-on experiences.

Moreover, expanding Bhashini's presence to distant classrooms throughout India will overcome language obstacles and enhance students' educational results.

“The partnership is helping set up data lab to train youth in data science and Artificial Intelligence,” says Abhishek Singh, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, and CEO, of IndiaAI Mission.
