NEW DELHI: (Jun 5) IT Secretary S Krishnan on Friday dismissed concerns around artificial intelligence, urging the industry to seize the "opportunity" and deploy the technology across sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, and education to drive economic growth and improve lives.

Alluding to concerns about AI's disruptive impact on the IT and IT-enabled services (ITES) sector, Krishnan emphasised that there is no reason to fear and that AI is a technology that India must embrace.

"This is a technology which we need to embrace. This is a technology wave that we need to ride...as a young country, with talent, as a country with understanding...," he said, addressing an event to mark the 35th Foundation Day of the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI).
