Jaspreet Bindra, a tech evangelist and author, launched his AI literacy initiative “AI&Beyond” with the goal to make AI more accessible and understandable. It is in collaboration with Anuj Magazine, an AI & cybersecurity expert, it is spread across industries.
“At AI&Beyond, we believe that AI is no longer the future – it is very much the present. Our goal is to ensure that AI literacy becomes as fundamental as reading and arithmetic, especially in large organisations where AI’s impact will be profound. Through AI&Beyond, we aim to bridge the gap between AI’s capabilities and its practical application across various sectors,” said Jaspreet Bindra.
Inspired by CLR James’ book Beyond A Boundary, AI&Beyond aims to simplify and distill the concept of AI beyond the technical aspects of it.
One of the initiative’s flagship programme, The Generative AI Bootcamp, is designed to equip participants with the necessary and most important AI skills. Additionally, the platform’s Ethics Bootcamp is crucial in today’s AI-driven world, helping organisations not only adopt AI, but do so with a strong ethical foundation.
The underlying idea is to make the learning experiential and immersive – that form the foundation of future AI businesses. These resources – including workshops, briefings, webinars, and consulting services – would empower organisations to become more agile, innovative and competitive in the digital age.
Jaspreet Bindra on GenAI
Bindra has been a staunch advocate of Make in India, and to that end, proposed that India should consider building generative AI as a digital public good – known as JanAI or GenAI for the people. “If you look at ChatGPT or Bard, they are all trained on the internet, where almost 80 to 90% of the data is English, and West-oriented. It doesn’t have vernacular data nor an Indian context,” said Bindra, while emphasising on why in the current LLM market, he wanted to bring an Indian context to the training model.
Also, at MLDS 2024 – India’s biggest generative AI summit – hosted by AIM, Jasprit Bindra spoke about the history of AI and the concept of singularity in today’s generative trends.
