We are creating a repository of outstanding case studies of digital transformation in IT, BPM and CASE (connected, autonomous, shared mobility and electric-EVs). All together there are some 150 select case studies, each narrating the story of India’s capability in deep technologies: analytics, artificial intelligence, data sciences, robotics and Internet of Things. All these case studies will be made available on a portal by the end of September,’’ said Viswanathan.

For instance, faster claim settlement can be offered using the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence. In motor insurance, for instance, claims can be settled by asking the customer to fill details about the accident using a chatbot/voicebot, upload photographs of the damaged vehicle and of the essential documents to verify the claim. By doing this, the claim amount could be directly credited to the customer’s account.

Much of data acts like code now and viceversa — a little known concept of computer science called homoiconicity. This demarcation is rapidly disappearing in domains like Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. Stripping sensitive personal data from such functionalities is going to get very challenging. The internet is like a cluster of tectonic plates that are barely held together having its millions of layers of abstraction which toss your data around.

Imagine this. From opening a bank account or buying an insurance policy to fighting cancer or even buying a pair of shoes, we are increasingly being helped or influenced by artificial intelligence (AI). In Mumbai, designers Falguni and Shane Peacock used AI to design their latest collection. In Bengaluru, a startup is using AI to improve detection of breast cancer and also make its treatment cheaper.
