Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran calls for regulating generative AI

In the era of technological advancement, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force that is reshaping industries and societies alike. As AI systems become increasingly sophisticated, the need for regulation has become a pressing concern. N Chandrasekaran, Chairman of Tata Sons, highlighted the importance of regulating generative AI at the B20 Summit curtain raiser event.

“Generative AI has lot to offer. With AI so much can be done in terms of not only business impact but societal impact, however it requires to be regulated in some form,” Chandrasekaran said.
Generative AI, a subset of artificial intelligence, refers to systems that can generate human-like content, including text, images, and even music. Recent advancements in this field, particularly with models like GPT-3 and its successors, have showcased the remarkable capabilities of generative AI. These systems can produce realistic content, simulate human conversation, and even generate creative works of art.

Tata Sons chairman launches a new Air India for the New India, with a hint of tech disruption

With the Golden Vista portal release on Monday, Air India flies over another transformative milestone under its five-year-long Vihaan.AI transformative programme

India is changing, and so is the national flag carrier Air India. The iconic brand that returned to the Tata group stable on January 27, 2022, after placing an order for a record 470 narrow and widebody jets, crossed yet another milestone with the launch of a new brand identity and livery in New Delhi Thursday.

The carrier that has implemented a five-year-long Vihaan.AI turnaround to become a leading global carrier will now operate with a new ‘Vista’ logo, a peak golden frame signifying a portal to send the airline into the realm of limitless possibilities.

Suggesting that there was probably a little of Air India in every Indian, Tata Sons chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran said, “For all of us at the Tata group it is a passion and a big national mission. Our mission and job at the Tata group and Air India is to make this airline a truly iconic airline that every Indian is truly proud of. We are fully committed and we are all in this journey until we make this happen.”

He said that other than upgrading all human resources aspects the fleet required a lot of work. The airline has made one of the largest fleet orders both in terms of narrow and widebody aircraft but it would take some time before the planes are delivered. Therefore, the onerous challenge is to get the existing fleet to an acceptable level through an upgrade.

Chandrasekaran further promised to have the best technology in place at the airline over the next 12 months. “We will have the best of machine learning and the best of artificial intelligence deployed in Air India than in any other airline!” he told an emotionally charged audience comprising former and existing employees, vendors, and other stakeholders.

For the audience, the best part of the evening was the announcement that the iconic brand’s Maharaja mascot has been retained to take India to the world.
