Hyderabad, Aug 27 (UNI) The two-day Global AI Summit will be organized by the Telangana government at HICC here from September 5.
As an Industry Partner, HYSEA is working closely with the government and other industry bodies to ensure the summit’s success.
Speaking at curtain raiser press meet organised by HYSEA (Hyderabad Software Enterprises Association) for the upcoming Summit here on Tuesday, State Minister for IT and Industries Duddilla Sridhar Babu, said “I am delighted to introduce the Telangana Global AI Summit 2024, which aims to position Hyderabad as the Global AI Capital.
AI holds immense potential for creating inclusive solutions, and our government is committed to fostering collaboration between industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to drive significant positive societal impact. Telangana is well-equipped to achieve these goals.
However, with great power comes great responsibility. As we leverage AI, we must ensure it serves humanity with fairness, transparency, and accountability. Our government is working closely with HYSEA, a key industry body whose vast experience will be invaluable to the Summit’s success, he said.
The Minister also invited the industry to collaborate on the state’s initiatives, such as the upcoming skilling university and the ambitious AI City.
Speaking on the occasion, HYSEA President Prashanth Nandella stated “The industry views this government initiative as very timely, especially as we are at the forefront of experiencing the impact, power, and potential of an AI-driven future.”
He said the significance of AI for the industry was evident at HYSEA’s Annual National Summit in February 2024, where discussions centered on how “AI will shape the future of the industry, economy, and business both in India and globally.”
Nandella emphasized HYSEA’s commitment to supporting the summit and beyond, focusing on creating an industry-ready workforce with AI skills.
“We plan to upskill over 10,000 students in AI/GenAI in collaboration with TASK, T-Hub, TSIC, and other key government organizations,” he added.
