Description
UP.AIACT.IN is an AI Industry Diffusion Report & Matrix as an extension of the AIACT.IN Project, launched by Indic Pacific in 2023.
This report + matrix addresses a simple question.
What should be some operationally specific ways to transform Uttar Pradesh’s AI economy?
This report & matrix should be viewed from the perspective of how one can transform an ambitious industrial & intellectual hub like UP, with its local and unique realities and how talent, resource, and sector-specific aspects can be aligned to build UP’s AI and manufacturing economies.
UP.AIACT.IN does not impose models from other places, but retrofits certain measures, which help the talent and start-up economy prefer UP as the next innovation hub of Central India.
UP.AIACT.IN also fills a crucial gap in documenting the history and patterns of Uttar Pradesh’s information technology industry in collaboration with the Indian Society of Artificial Intelligence and Law.
