This edition of DSC discussed topics around banning the production and usage of killer robots, insights about India\u2019s 1st<\/sup>\u00a0Data protection bill;\u00a0technical talks by various experts including co-creator of Tensorflow, a bioinformatician showcased how to store data in one\u2019s DNA; IBM Chief Scientist showcase how to create a scalable Artificial Intelligence,\u00a0panel on challenges & opportunities for women in data; highlights of the both days was keynotes by Dr. Juergen Schmidhuber, Father of modern Artificial Intelligence and Father of Internet and Dr. Vint Cerf, Father of Internet.<\/p>\n

At the event, Dr. Vint Cerf, Father of Internet and Creator of TCP\/IP facilitated and appreciated 20\u00a0talented\u00a0students from India selected through Aegis Graham Bell Award National Talent Hunt for Data Science, AI and Cyber Security Phase II who were provided with a 100% scholarship to study Post Graduate Program (PGP) in Data Science; PGP in Applied AI, Machine Learning & Deep Learning and PGP in Cyber Security from Aegis School of Data Science & Cyber Security in association with IBM. In\u00a0Phase I, likewise 20 students were awarded the scholarship in the month of February 2020 by Shri Nitin Gadkari, Hon\u2019ble Minister for Road Transport & Highways of India and Shipping Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in the Government of India.

Neural networks can learn to detect patterns in data from viruses and patients, we can use those neural networks to predict the future consequences of possible actions and we will act to minimise the damage.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Adding to Hon\u2019ble Minister points on AI role in academia\u00a0Dr. Anil Sahasrabudhe, Chairman, AICTE<\/strong>\u00a0mentioned<\/em>,\u00a0\u201cI believe India with 1.35 billion population which is 1\/6th<\/sup>\u00a0of the world population, If we are transforming we are transforming 1\/6th<\/sup>\u00a0of the world.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dilip Chenoy, Secretary General, FICCI\u00a0<\/strong>mentioned,\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cIndian data and technology service market is segmented by solutions and we are expecting India to\u00a0become the largest data science market in the world with better use cases and significant opportunities for data scientist in the future therefore the emphasis should be on education.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cLearning in the last 2 days from these world leaders at the event will surely help in paving a path for the mission of making India as a world leader in research, education, and skill development in the fields of AI, Data Science and Cyber Security, Thank you to our partners AICTE, FICCI, AIQRATE, ASMA, Dunnhumby, Cloud4C, Safe N\u2019 happy Periods for making this event a grand success,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>said\u00a0Bhupesh Daheria, Founder, mUni Campus, and CEO, Aegis School of Data Science & Cyber Security<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
