Demand for artificial intelligence and machine learning specialists in the country are expected to see a 60 per cent rise by 2018 due to increasing adoption of automation. Although AI and machine adoption is on the rise in India, there is negligible talent with experience in technologies like deep learning and neutral networks. As there is significant talent crunch in the AI space and AI roles
