In healthcare, AI is helping improve diagnosis, expand access, and personalize care, especially for underserved communities.The tech giant has partnered with ARMMAN to use AI to identify women at risk of dropping out of their health information program, allowing for personalised interventions to improve maternal health outcomes.The report stated that to maximise the ’AI Opportunity for India’, collaborative efforts across government, industry and civil society must prioritise three key areas: invest in infrastructure and innovation, build human capital and an AI-empowered workforce, and promote widespread adoption and universal accessibility.“Further integrating AI across India’s Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), including in healthcare, education, e-governance and finance, will help unleash AI’s potential and accelerate the benefits of DPI,” said the report.Google in India has a clear goal to empower 10 million people with AI digital literacy including students, job seekers, educators, startups and developers and civil officials, and offer technical knowledge to help contribute towards building an AI-ready workforce.--IANSna/
