Artificial Intelligence, or AI, which refers to the ability of computers or machines to perform tasks that require human intelligence, is common today – globally, and in India’s Bengaluru. 

The city has effectively surpassed the rest of India to muscle its way to the top five AI hot spots in the world, according to Harvard Business Review’s TIDE. New Delhi and Hyderabad occupy the 18th and 19th positions respectively. The top four hot spots are San Francisco, New York, Boston and Seattle.

It’s not just the Harvard Business Review. The Brookings Metro Review and a study by Wuzhen Institute have also projected Bengaluru as the next AI hub. Google and Apple are among the global giants that have acquired local startups that focus on AI. And Microsoft and IBM have set up research and development (R&D) facilities for AI products and services.

But can the Indian AI research center become a true leader in this field and surpass the world-famous Silicon Valley?
