The 'Discover Andhra Pradesh 360' VR tourism project sounds fascinating. It's a smart way to showcase India's cultural heritage to a global audience. Integrating AI with creative industries is the future.

Good initiative, but I hope the focus is on real implementation and not just announcements. We've seen many grand plans before. The academic integration part is crucial - our colleges need to update their syllabi to match these AI ambitions.

Meeting with Eros Innovations is a smart move. Combining Bollywood's reach with AI tech can put Andhra on the map for digital content creation. Hope it creates lots of jobs for our engineers and artists!

While the vision is impressive, I hope the government ensures that the benefits reach smaller towns in AP, not just Hyderabad or Visakhapatnam. Balanced regional development is key.

As a software professional from Vijayawada, I'm excited! An AI Creative Tech Hub could stop the brain drain to Bangalore or abroad. Let's build it right here. 🤞
