New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi advised the youth to know more about Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. He was addressing the nation in his final ‘Mann Ki Baat’ of the outgoing year.
“You can imagine the revolutionary change that could be brought about once this technology is used more widely in our schools, hospitals and courts. I would urge the youth and the future generation to further explore AI tools, especially those pertaining to real-time translations and make them 100 per cent foolproof. In the coming days, the onus will be on them to not just preserve our native languages but also promote them,” PM Modi said.
PM Modi also mentioned the AI tool ‘Bhashini’, which he used during the Kashi-Tamil Sangamam earlier this month for real-time translation for the benefit of his Tamil-speaking audience.
“I was addressing from the stage in Hindi but through the AI tool Bhashini, the people from Tamil Nadu, who were attending the event, could follow my address at the same time as the others. There was noticeable excitement around this new experiment among the visitors to the Kashi-Tamil Sangamam,” he said.
The Prime Minister said the day is not far when the public will listen to real-time translation of regional films at cinema halls through new-age AI tools.
“The day is not far when an address will be delivered in one language and the public will listen to the same speech in their own language real-time. The same will happen with films, as the audience will follow real-time translation of regional films at a cinema hall,” he added.
