The Massachusetts Institute of Technology president L. Rafael Reif has called for a federal funding for analyzing the benefits and challenges of Artificial Intelligence. This call marks the MIT president calling in his alarming tone that AI is now to be considered as a responsibility rather than only taking it as a Tech Field.

In the previous few years the field has shown a remarkable massive growth in the United States which certainly has to be appreciated keeping in mind the hard work, passionate in depth studies of the Computer scientists. But with the immense power of AI also comes the responsibility tackle it the right way. This is the field that the MIT President wants us all to pay attention to and by calling for this he has already taken the initiative to go into the matter further.

In this article, we shall wander around in India and let's dig a little on how AI works in India. Maybe we get to some outrageous facts that guide us in the correct direction.

Let us take the example oflinked initself, In the year 2017, the number of people adding AI skills to their profile went high up by a 190% from 2015. The figure says it all. that is the measure of the gravity that we are posing towards AI. Although, it's not something to be ashamed of at all. Great work of great young Indian minds! But let's hold on, another fact and figure: In the union budget of 2018-2019 the Artificial Intelligence and the Machine Learning have grabbed a $480 million allocation from the government. Just a double from the preceding budget. All the policies formed and plans functioning are quite likely to be successful. Also the Indian Economy is likely to be boosted by this Step, but there are a few Stand alone things that might obstacle us.

The first being Provability: Despite the numerous efforts of our fiery brains, there are some of the modules of any artificial project that we use pre-developed. There are no scratch derivations and we might not even understand, whether or not it malfunctions sometimes. Such modules can cause huge data losses at times.

Another one is Data Security: Data in TB's is being transferred and dealt with while we deal with the Artificial Intelligence. Any loss of this data might even become a national threat. And not that this hasn't happened before. The partial or minimal knowledge of any AI algorithm can cause a risk of this level. We must abide by that.

At last, let's have an overview on the prediction Power of our Intelligent agents. Installation of these agents on the international borders can predict and alert about terrorist attacks or any unnatural activities on the other side. Certainly after what happened recently, these artificial agents will teach a good lesson to the dear neighbors for the over smartness that they pretend to carry with them.

So, that's the bottom line that I want to make here: That with power, comes the responsibility. We handle that well? we lead the world!
