Artificial Intelligence has reached era of consumerisation: Kris Gopalakrishnan
Citing the example of AI backed machines in health care, he said simple technologies for thermal imaging to detect breast cancer might disrupt mammography, the traditional mode of breast cancer detection. He said the reason was that the powerful AI engines in them examine thousands of such images and has a database of past diagnosis. And this (AI) is able to do it better than traditional mammography and things like that, he said.
Infosys co-founder Kris Gopalakrishnan today said Artificial Intelligence has reached the era of consumerisation and opined that it might be disruptive in the coming years. "What we are witnessing right now is the consumerisation of AI. Consumerisation has two aspects, one is cost and second is access. And I believe that we are at the beginning of the consumerisation of AI," he said.
Gopalakrishnan, who is chairman of CII India Innovation Summit, opined that AI may be disruptive in the coming years.
