New Delhi: The CBI should look for collaborations with the academia and industries in the light of the changes being brought about by Artificial Intelligence in economic, social and technological fronts, Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Tuesday.
Delivering the 21st D P Kohli memorial lecture on the 62nd Foundation Day of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Vaishnaw said things have changed with the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
“An AI agent can commit a crime. The ethical question that will arise then is who has committed the crime and whom to arrest. Can you arrest an AI agent? Is it the AI creating company that is liable or is it the AI agent that is liable?
Vaishnaw acknowledged that research and innovation within Indian universities have reached the cutting edge, producing groundbreaking work. However, he asserted that scaling these efforts significantly is imperative to truly compete on a global stage. He cited successful industry-academia collaborations in telecom and semiconductors, urging similar initiatives in AI.
