In Collaboration with
 The Future is
Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) has created new opportunities in recent

years. Industries are being affected, making previously unthinkable
activities like space travel and melanoma diagnosis viable. As a result,
there has also been a continuous rise in AI careers. LinkedIn said AI
professionals would be among the 'jobs on the rise' in 2023and beyond.

AI is set to be the key source of transformation, disruption and

competitive advantage in today’s fast changing economy. In this report
we've drawn on the findings to create our AI Impact Index, where we look
at how quickly change is coming and where your business can expect the
greatest return.

IndiaAI has a mission-centric approach that ensures a precise and cohesive strategy to bridge
the gaps in the existing AI ecosystem viz-a-viz Compute infrastructure, Data, AI financing,
Research and Innovation, targeted Skilling, and institutional capacity for Data to maximize the
potential of AI to advance India's progress.

Generative AI is already proving a significant differentiator for the 5% of the

population who work more than one job or have multiple earnings streams. A
recent Morgan Stanley Research survey shows that multi-earners who use
generative AI tools to enhance productivity or efficiency make $8.50 per hour, or
21%, more than those who don't.
 Why Artificial
Intelligence
Experts at Nexford University say that AI and machine learning will help
workers by creating more occupations than it replaces. That said, in order to
ride the wave and build a new career, you have to have procured the skills
necessary to get the job done. If you're exposed to AI and are looking to pivot
into an AI-focused role, demonstrating your knowledge and experience with AI
development can give you an edge.

IIT Delhi – FITT

Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT) at IIT Delhi has been the
vanguard of knowledge transfer activities from academia since its inception in 1992.
This techno-commercial organization from academia is counted amongst the
successful such organizations. FITT provides superior program management
services and is steadily increasing its operational landscape. The varied roles of
FITT can be seen in enabling innovations and technopreneurship, business
partnerships, technology development, consultancy, collaborative R&D, technology
commercialization, development programs, corporate memberships etc. These roles
are necessitated by the key agenda of the Foundation to showcase the Institute’s
“intellectual ware” to industry, and thereby unlock it’s knowledge base and
inculcate industrial relevance in teaching and research at IIT Delhi.

IIT Delhi is India's eminent academic and research institution. It co-develops a

range of training programs from College level to working professionals and also on
emerging areas like Blockchain, AI/ML, IoT, AR/VR & Cybersecurity. The CoE in IIT
Delhi has been set up to conduct deep research and product development in these
areas, particularly for critical infrastructures like Waterways, Smart Cities, Railways
and Energy.
