The Green Revolution and Amrit Kaal
Post-independence, India’s agricultural sector was in dire straits. However, since then, numerous advancements have been made, leading to significant improvements in productivity and efficiency. One notable milestone is the Green Revolution, which introduced high-yielding varieties of seeds and modern agricultural practices. Today, India stands on the brink of Amrit Kaal, an era characterized by technological innovation, digital transformation and sustainable development.
Policy Initiatives and Guidelines
To ensure responsible development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in agriculture, the Indian government has tasked NITI Aayog with establishing guidelines and policies for AI research and development. These initiatives focus on health-care, agriculture, education, smart cities, infrastructure and smart mobility and transformation. In particular, the National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence #AIForAll strategy highlights the importance of AI in agriculture to improve productivity, efficiency and sustainability.
Furthermore, Principles for Responsible AI released by NITI Aayog explores various ethical considerations when deploying AI solutions in India. This approach paper is divided into system considerations and societal considerations, addressing decision-making principles, beneficiary inclusion, accountability, automation impact on job creation and employment considerations. Operationalizing Principles for Responsible AI focuses on operationalizing responsible AI principles, proposing actions for both government and private sectors to cover regulatory and policy interventions, capacity building, ethics by design and AI standards compliance.
