CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi on Monday said that achieving the goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047 can only be technology-driven and stressed that India’s population must master emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), to realise that vision. He was delivering the inaugural address at the 14th edition of the ThinkEdu Conclave organised by The New Indian Express. Drawing on history, the Governor said India was once an economic powerhouse, leading the world in textile exports, agriculture and metallurgy among other fields before being crushed by colonialisation. He said the US retained its dominance by continuing to innovate, particularly leading in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Every major technological breakthrough, he said, has widened the gap between those who possess it and those who do not.
