LEAP to be a blockbuster initiative to boost AI talent pool: Sankanur

Dharwad: Karnataka Innovation and Technology Society (KITS) managing director Rahul Sankanur said the LEAP (Local Economy Accelerator Programme) launched by the department of IT and BT will be a blockbuster initiative to strengthen India's artificial intelligence (AI) talent pool. The IAS officer was speaking to the media after taking part in the Jan AI Conclave organised by IIIT-Dharwad on Thursday. Sankanur noted that the state govt has earmarked Rs 1,000 crore for the programme and plans are under way to bring as many as 17 AI-focused initiatives under its ambit. "Bengaluru, with over 7,000 startups, accounting for 20% of India's total, has firmly established itself as the country's startup hub. It is ranked among the world's top 10 startup destinations and is already among the top five AI talent hubs globally. This momentum provides abundant opportunities for young engineers to build AI-driven startups," he said. Meanwhile, Prof Santanu Bhattacharya of MIT Media Labs observed that AI is poised to revolutionise the world, and India must develop region-specific micro templates to effectively address local problems. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Australian Startup Develops Innovative Help for Neuropathy healthreliefstore Click Here Undo "For India to grow exponentially, rural incomes must rise significantly. AI can play a transformative role in strengthening agriculture, healthcare, and language technologies. Voice-based modules, for instance, could go a long way in easing rural challenges. Young technocrats should focus on developing apps that enable small vendors to market their produce, thereby boosting the rural economy," he suggested. Head Held High Foundation managing trustee Madan Padaki said, "So far, 3,500 people have registered for Jan AI, and 1,500 have been certified upon course completion. With the establishment of Jan AI Kendras, villagers will have access to a wealth of sectoral information, eventually creating an 'AI Village' ecosystem." IIIT-Dharwad director Mahadev Prasanna highlighted that the institute is playing a vital role in making AI accessible to the common man. He revealed that students at IIIT-Dharwad are currently developing two AI-powered apps, one for agriculture and another for healthcare. "The agri app allows farmers to photograph diseased crops, after which AI instantly diagnoses the issue and suggests remedies. Similarly, a mental health app is being designed to provide psychiatric support," he added. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Are OpenAI, Google, Meta plotting to take down state AI regulations?

US AI regulation 2025 : Tech giants including OpenAI, Meta, and Google are stepping up efforts to block US states from regulating their rapidly growing artificial intelligence businesses, as per a report. Tech Giants Push Back Against State-Level AI Regulations These companies are lobbying both the White House and Republican-led Congress, after five states, including Texas, Colorado, California, Tennessee and New York passed significant AI-related laws, as reported by Bloomberg. Kouri Marshall, director of state government relations with tech trade group Chamber of Progress, pointed out that, 'Lawmakers should be inviting innovation, not driving it away from the state,' as quoted in the Bloomberg report. The group has major players like Andreessen Horowitz, Google, Apple, and Amazon among its members, according to the report. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Replace Your Entire Roof in as Little as 1 Day!

After all, the companies that make early AI breakthroughs stand to gain trillions of dollars in market value, as reported by Bloomberg. Live Events Matt Perault, head of artificial intelligence policy at Andreessen Horowitz, highlighted that, 'My hope is the focus moves away from trying to regulate development to regulating use' by individual customers, as quoted in the report.

Although that effort failed, tech companies successfully influenced White House advisers to version of the federal moratorium on state regulation in Trump's AI plan released in July, as per the report. That plan gives non-binding guidance to federal agencies, which includes a directive that AI-related federal funding should not go to states with 'unduly restrictive' AI regulation, as reported by Bloomberg. While, industry lobbyists say companies are pushing again to attach the 10-year ban on state regulations to upcoming legislation, according to the report.

However, federal AI legislation remains stalled due to political disagreements and opposition from tech-friendly lawmakers, according to the report. States Propose Audits, Disclosures, and Content Protections Meanwhile, some states are exploring rules that would require firms to conduct audits to prevent consumer harm, disclose when people are interacting with AI and ban the companies from copying artists' creative work, as reported by Bloomberg.

Hope Anderson, a privacy and AI lawyer with White & Case, told Bloomberg that the speed of technological change makes it 'tricky' for the law to keep up, and more so if states enact a 'patchwork' of differing regulations, as quoted in the report. FAQs Why are tech companies against state-level AI laws? Because 50 different rules would make it harder for them to scale and innovate quickly. What do the tech companies want instead? They prefer a single federal law focused on how AI is used, not how it's built.
