Microsoft announced a $3 billion investment to train 10 million Indians in artificial intelligence over the next five years as part of the ADVANTA(I)GE INDIA initiative.

Microsoft's ADVANTA(I)GE INDIA Initiative

The ADVANTA(I)GE INDIA initiative by Microsoft aims to boost productivity and create new employment opportunities for Indians. The program has already trained 2.4 million people, including civil servants, students, and people with disabilities. According to Puneet Chandok, president of Microsoft India, the goal is to enhance employability and bridge the digital divide for a more inclusive future.

Importance of AI Skills Training

With AI's influence in various sectors growing, adapting to this technology is essential for workers. Experts suggest that ignorance about AI tools could leave individuals behind. A case in point is Neha Jain, an Uttar Pradesh-based officer trained in AI. She compares AI to fire, initially feared but eventually harnessed for good. Jain believes AI, if used wisely, can greatly benefit humanity.

Success Stories and Digital Skills

One success story from the initiative is Raghavendra Pratap Singh, a Review Officer in Uttar Pradesh. By using AI tools like Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT, he performs his work more efficiently. Trainers observe that most course participants initially lack awareness of AI's importance but quickly recognize its significance.

Microsoft's ADVANTA(I)GE INDIA initiative represents a significant step towards closing the digital divide and increasing inclusivity in India by training millions in AI skills.
