‘Public sector services hold immense untapped opportunities for AI-driven improvements'

Artificial Intelligence has rapidly accelerated within the IT sector, transforming how businesses develop, deploy, and manage technology. From automating coding and testing to enhancing cybersecurity and streamlining IT operations, AI is driving unprecedented efficiency and agility.
Ramesh Jampula, vice-president, IT, India and APJC Regional CIO at Dell Technologies, told TNIE that public sector services, including urban planning and governance, also hold immense untapped opportunities for AI-driven improvements in efficiency, transparency, and citizen engagement. 'As AI technologies mature and become more accessible, we will see deeper integration across these under-leveraged sectors,' he said.
Across industries the possibilities of AI are significant from improving user experience and fraud detection in BFSI, to improving accuracy and speed of clinical analysis. Industries and organisations need to work on building AI into their process and take advantage of the fact that a machine can look at more data with higher accuracy and consistency than a human possibly could, he added. In February this year, Dell announced its collaboration with NVIDIA and Jampula said this brings together integrated Dell and NVIDIA capabilities, as well as pre-validated, full-stack solutions, accelerating AI adoption and innovation. This comes in response to the rapidly growing demand for AI solutions across industries.
'The Dell AI Factory offers businesses access to the industry's broadest AI portfolio, spanning from devices to data centres to the cloud, along with an open ecosystem of technology partners. Dell Validated Design for Generative AI with NVIDIA help to rapidly deliver generative AI for the enterprise. Project Helix is an inferencing blueprint, jointly engineered with NVIDIA, to speed the deployment of a modular, secure and scalable platform for GenAI in the enterprise,' he explained.
Talking about agentic AI, Jampula said an Al agent is the manifestation of a human skill or capability in a software system. For an enterprise, it is the transition of a skill or job function into the Al cycle. An enterprise is built on two main ingredients: The first is its proprietary data also known as its institutional knowledge. The second is its unique skills, also known as its core competencies. With Gen Al technologies, enterprises can unlock proprietary data and make it exploitable in ways never possible before.
'This has far-reaching implications across industries—be it automating claims processing in insurance, enhancing compliance in financial services, or optimising diagnostics in healthcare—AI agents are poised to bring efficiency and intelligence to business-critical functions. Simultaneously, Al agent technology has the potential to unlock an enterprise's unique skills. As technology evolves and matures, it will allow for the transition of human skills into Al-manifested skills,' he added.

$1,000 for every baby? Trump rallies Dell, Uber & others to offer bonus — but only if his Beautiful Bill passes

If Congress passes his new " One Big Beautiful Bill ", President Trump wants to give families $1,000 for every baby born during his second term. Executives from three of America's largest and most well-known corporations are supporting President Trump's plan to establish investment accounts for children born during his second term as a means of persuading Congress to approve his contentious One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Dell, Uber , and Goldman Sachs are just a few of the big companies that would be prepared to make contributions to accounts set up for their employees' children. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Crossout 2.0: Supercharged Crossout Play Now Undo Which companies are backing this? Alongside Trump, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, and Dell Computer founder Michael Dell attended an event at the White House on Monday to advocate for what the bill refers to as " Trump accounts " as a means of fostering financial literacy and enticing Americans to have more children, as quoted in a report by The Independent. What is the 'Trump Account'? A $1,000 one-time donation from the federal government would open the "Trump accounts", which would be tax-deferred. Money put into the accounts would be invested to follow the stock market as a whole and be available when the kids turn 21. Live Events The whole point of it seems to raise the number of births, the level of financial literacy, and the amount of support for families. Critics say it leaves some people out, while supporters say it gives families more power. Donald Trump called the business leaders "the greatest business minds we have today" and praised them for their involvement in the project. He went on to say that this is a pro-family initiative that will help millions of Americans harness the strength of our economy to lift up the next generation, and they, especially if they get a little bit lucky with some of the numbers and the economies into the future, will really be getting a big jump on life, as per a report by The Independent. Besides GOP Representative Blake Moore of Utah and House Speaker Mike Johnson, who praised the proposed policy as "a bold, transformative policy that gives every eligible American child a financial head start from day one", the president credited Dell, a long-time Republican donor, with introducing him to the idea of a "Trump account". Republicans' plan, however, is based on one that has been used in states like California, Connecticut, and the District of Columbia, which have all introduced " baby bonds " that invest money for newborns that can be used for education and other purposes when they grow up.

The One Big Beautiful Bill, a proposal from the Trump administration, would prohibit the creation of accounts for children of certain immigrant categories by requiring at least one parent to provide a Social Security number with work authorisations. The "Trump account" program would be accessible to families of all income levels, in contrast to the District of Columbia's program and others like it that aim to alleviate poverty by focussing on underprivileged populations. The seasoned businessman and pioneer of home computers, Dell, stated that his organisation was honoured to be among the first to endorse the plan, as per a report. FAQs What does the $1,000 baby bonus entail? If Trump's bill passes, each baby born during his second term will receive a $1,000 investment account. Does every child qualify? No, at least one parent must have a Social Security number and employment authorisation.
