Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy will virtually deliver a keynote address at a first-of-its-kind Artificial Intelligence Symposium organised by Harvard Kennedy in Boston on Friday.

Revanth Reddy, who is an alumnus of the institution, has been invited to deliver the keynote address. In view of the ongoing Budget Session, the Chief Minister will not be travelling to Boston and will instead deliver his address virtually as a special arrangement, according to a release from Telangana Chief Minister's Office (CMO).

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Symposium will bring together leading voices from government, industry, and academia to deliberate on the rapidly evolving global Artificial Intelligence landscape.

The symposium will commence with opening remarks by Jeremy Weinstein, Dean of the Faculty at Kennedy School. Supported by the Business & Government PIC and the AI & Tech Policy Caucus at HKS, along with several Harvard-based think tanks, the event will be held in person at the HKS campus.

The symposium will foster dialogue on Artificial Intelligence across governance, economic competitiveness, geopolitics, and human capital, followed by panel discussions on "The Race to AGI", "AI in Emerging Markets", "Geopolitics of Compute", and "The Future of Work and Education", according to CMO.

The distinguished lineup of speakers includes Anousheh Ansari, CEO of XPRIZE; Illango Pachamuthu of the World Bank; Fatema Z Sumar; Landry Signe of the Brookings Institution, among several other global experts and thought leaders.

Good that he's attending virtually. Saves taxpayer money on travel. But I hope the focus is on actionable policy, not just talk. We need AI education in govt schools and support for local startups, not just symposiums.

Harvard alumni network is powerful. This connection can bring investments and collaborations to Telangana. The 'AI in Emerging Markets' panel is crucial - our challenges and solutions are very different from the West.

Interesting to see an Indian political leader in this space. The line-up of speakers is impressive. Hope the discussion includes ethical AI and data privacy frameworks that protect citizens.

While this is good for image-building, real work is needed here. Our cities need AI for traffic management, waste collection, and utility services. Let's hope this talk translates into smart city projects on the ground. 🙏

Proud to see an Indian leader at Harvard! But also important to develop our own institutions like IITs and IISc to this level. We must build capacity at home, not just seek validation abroad.

We welcome thoughtful discussions from our readers. Please keep comments respectful and on-topic.
