Artificial Intelligence Research in Indian Universities: Opportunities and Challenges

To promote innovation, academic research must now incorporate artificial intelligence (AI), which has become a disruptive force in many businesses. AI research is being increasingly embraced by Indian colleges, providing opportunities to tackle domestic and international issues in fields like education, healthcare, and agriculture. This study examines the state of AI research in Indian institutions, emphasising the prospects offered by industrial collaborations, government programs, and a growing emphasis on multidisciplinary research. Significant obstacles still exist, nevertheless, such as a lack of money, gaps in the infrastructure, a lack of skilled workers, and moral dilemmas. The report highlights that to overcome these obstacles and maintain India's competitive advantage in the global AI ecosystem, academics, businesses, and policymakers must work together strategically. By tackling these issues, Indian academic institutions can establish themselves as important players in the creation of moral, inclusive, and significant AI technology.
