Inaugurating the country’s first International Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) conclave here, Vijayan said integrating AI into all key sectors including tourism, healthcare, education, IT and renewable energy will stimulate the economic growth and improve the quality of life of people. “The government has identified AI as a focus sector in its new industrial policy.
