Learn everything about AI for #UPSC in this post
• Basics
• Governance & Applications
• Diplomacy, Ethics & Way Forward
How are various countries dealing with it across the world?
1. China
• 2022: World's first nationally binding regulations for algorithms of AI
• Laws regulate recommendation algorithms
• Focuses on how algorithms pass on info
2. USA
• Outlined harms of AI laying down 5 principles to mitigate harms
• Launched Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights (AIBoR)
• Sector specific approach to AI governance
3. EU
• A tough stance categorising AI based on related risks
• Categorized apps as per magnitude of risk
• Strict limitations on use of AI data
4. India (in detail)
a) Generative AI report
• GoI portal INDIAai hosting multi round of discussions
• Released a comprehensive report
b) National Strategy for AI
• Objective: Develop ecosystem for research & AI adoption
• Gives clarity on regulatory outcomes
Okay, CSEWhy! I learn that PM spoke at Global Partnership on AI
What is this about?

But what the hell is AI, CSEWhy? Can you Simplify?
😉👇🏻
Artificial Intelligence
Ability of a machine to do tasks that need human like discretion
Still in initial stages, it can take actions to make human-like decision
Understand 2 components of this: ML & DL
• Machine Learning (ML)
A improves driven by algorithm when fed with data
Analogy:
First time you ate mud, someone stopped you from doing it
Over a period of time, as you were stopped more, you learnt ill effects of this action
What happened here?
You were fed data and machine (brain) learnt (and improved)
• Deep Learning
ML & DL are interconnected
It is deep learning technique that absorbs huge amount of data to help the 'machine' learn
Friends, AI is further of many types
• Self aware
• Generative
• Reactive
The first image of PM Modi is a result of Generative AI
You are hearing about GPT; i.e. Generative Pre-trained Transformer
Generative AI can now produce entire music video of yours with just one line of prompt & image!😮
Time to show you some applications:
1. Content Creation: text, image, video etc. fast pace the work
2. Healthcare: Tracking fatal diseases via simple tests eg. TB discovery from cough test
3. Judiciary
Supreme Court is using SUVAS, an AI supported translation software to translate judgements
4. Education
ChatGPT, Gemini, Dall3 etc. are already in action to transform education
5. Security
eg: Israel has already put in place AI models for border security
6. Business
Contracts, text generation is one application that has taken prominence in businesses
It is not limited to these, look around you!
What are your problems that AI can solve? Use those in your #UPSC answers! 😉
Now documenting some pointers for advantages & disadvantages for your notes:
Advantages
• Secure & easy to use
• Near accurate & Efficient
• Higher productivity, better results
• Faster results, improved decision making
Disadvantages
• Pornography
• Ethical concerns
• Bias & maintenance
• Job restructuring, security
• Lack of data regulations & storage
Okay CSEWhy, what can be the way forward?
Way Forward
• Human-AI collaboration
• Universal data accessibility for all
• AI for all, as proposed by PM Modi
• Stronger Global collaboration & regulations
• Investments in research, innovation & ethical AI
Conclusion
AI can potentially perform major of present day tasks in near-future
It's use shall be just, inclusive, and meant for global good
It shall be on agenda to leave safer planet for our kids!
In no way shall it be used to prove hazardous for the coming generations
