In order to promote the state as a global hub of generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI), Kerala has unveiled a slew of upfront policy initiatives by creating a highly enabling ecosystem reinforced by incentives, support and partnerships. Minister for Industries and Law P Rajeev said the government will come out with a dedicated AI policy, complying with the ESG (Environmental, social, and governance) goals during this fiscal year itself.
A first-of-its-kind initiative, the July 11-12 conclave was organised by Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation (KSIDC) in association with technology giant IBM. Noting that the state has already identified AI as a priority sector in the present industrial policy, Rajeeve said the government will come out with a dedicated AI policy, complying with the ESG (Environmental, social, and governance) goals during this fiscal year itself.
Based on the policy, support and incentives will be provided to enhance the existing infrastructure and create a more futuristic AI ecosystem. Taking forward the initiative, an AI Cluster will be established in the state, facilitating the creation of a cluster-based Industrial Park on a public-private partnership basis in association with technology and knowledge partners.
This will serve as common infrastructure, including Graphics Processing Centres, Global Capability Centres and other ecosystem support infrastructure. Plug-and-play and incubation facilities will also be set up in the state in association with anchor investors.
As a first step, the companies in the Mission 1000 scheme will be encouraged to adopt AI technologies. The database of the Mission 1000 scheme will be analysed using AI tools. AI tools shall be incorporated into the online mechanism for processing application forms, resolving investor queries, decision making and licensing support by government agencies.
