In this index, China, America, and India have been recognized as leading countries in the world for AI innovation, use, development, and research. He said that in the coming time, people from all over the world will turn to these countries for AI-related studies, research, and innovation. Vaishnav said that India’s IT industry is a great strength of the country’s economy and Rajasthan has a significant contribution to it. It is necessary to prepare this industry for the new era and new technology. He said that just as extensive work was done earlier in the fields of mobile, internet, 5G, and semiconductors, similarly, AI scaling will now be done with the same speed and on a large scale, so that the country can become technologically stronger. Everyone will use AI like mobile
Union Minister of State, Electronics and Information Technology, Jitin Prasada said – The level that digital infrastructure has reached in India in a very short time is the result of PM Narendra Modi’s visionary thinking. It is a result of the central government’s policies that big companies like Google and Microsoft have decided to invest in the field of AI. Jitin Prasada said that AI is a technology that people had not even imagined before. Today, there is a mobile in every hand, in every village. Similarly, AI is also rapidly becoming a part of people’s lives. He said that AI will not be limited to big cities or prominent people, but its benefits will reach those standing in the last row of society. This will also create new employment opportunities. Cyber Security a Big Challenge, Government Fully Prepared
Jitin Prasada said that cyber security and cyber threat are among the biggest challenges today. He assured that the central government is fully prepared for this challenge. The government is taking all such steps to ensure that the public does not fall victim to any kind of cyber threat. Along with this, emphasis is also being laid on digital literacy, because digital literacy will be necessary for the use of AI. In the coming time, the use of AI will become essential. Strict watch on deepfake and misinformation
Minister Jitin Prasada said that deepfake and misinformation have become a major challenge today. India is a country of diversities, where religion, caste, food habits, and lifestyles are different. In such a situation, misinformation can harm society. The government is working seriously on this. Consultations are also being held with the industry. He said that platforms carrying AI-generated content or deepfakes have a responsibility to clearly state that the content is AI-generated. Rajasthan’s AI Policy launched
During the event, Rajasthan’s new AI-ML Policy 2026 was launched. Through this policy, the focus will be on promoting local startups in the state, strengthening AI infrastructure, and connecting youth with technology. The government’s focus is to ensure that AI-based services reach common people in an easy and accessible manner.
