The Future of AI Collaboration between India and Taiwan

Thu. June 11th, 2020
Zoom Webinar

Taiwan recently launched several initiatives and policies aimed at fostering growth in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) domain. With these, Taiwan hopes to become a significant player for AI-enabled intelligent systems in the global value chain. Similarly, the Indian government is increasing its investments in the country's AI space. While Taiwan has made considerable headway, India remains at a nascent stage. How can India and Taiwan collaborate on key AI issues to foster innovation, develop robust regulations, and build their talent pools? Can industry partnerships between AI start-ups in India and Taiwan encourage AI growth?

We hosted Dr. Pao-Ann Hsiung, Umakant Soni, and Ashit Kumar Padhi for a discussion on the future of AI collaboration between India and Taiwan. The discussion was moderated by Rajesh Bansal.
