"We are very much in the race,. We will be among the top few countries who will be able to harness its powers," Vaishnaw said in an interation with Moneycontrol's Nalin Mehta and Chandra Srikanth at the News18 Rising Bharat Summit in New Delhi.
Vaishnaw, however, warned that bias in AI can be very dangerous.
"It can play out very negatively."
