This is the best summary I could come up with:


Of Indian workers, about 61% also said adopting green skills, or technical knowledge that supports environmentally sustainable decisions, is imperative in today’s workforce, compared with just 39% of global respondents.

The training will also employ 5,000 instructors at higher education institutions to teach 100,000 women in rural areas and cities that don’t have massive populations like Delhi and Mumbai.

India’s desire to rise as an economic superpower is hindered by many things, but one important factor is the difference in wealth between the country’s urbanites and rural villagers.

Villages also tend to be riddled with caste associations and societal rules on occupations that can keep people locked into jobs as carpenters, barbers, weavers, potters, or sweepers with few other options.

People in these areas face economic deprivation, like few banking or investment resources, and social neglect that continues to slow India’s progress as a formidable subcontinent.

AI could also revolutionize early disease diagnosis for rural Indians by filling in a critical gap where people can’t access or afford diagnostic facilities.

Nvidia was the one starting to fart AI over and over again and look at their stock price now.

All the big tech companies are riding the hype and it seems to work. Now their companies are apparently worth a lot more because of AI, which will probably turn into nothing more then small user assistants in people’s Office software.
