Centre for inter-disciplinary Artificial Intelligence
The Centre for inter-disciplinary Artificial Intelligence (CAI) is a research centre at FLAME University focused on developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications tailored to India's needs and the Indian context.
The field of artificial intelligence (AI) has witnessed remarkable growth, with significant advancements in various applications. One of the noteworthy developments in the recent past is the rise of powerful large language models, such as GPT from OpenAI. Chatbots based on these have showcased adaptability and versatility, making them suitable for diverse scenarios. India, with its rich linguistic diversity and unique challenges, offers a vast landscape for AI development. It is crucial to develop AI tools in multiple Indian languages to make technology accessible and inclusive. The Centre aims to address these challenges and ensure that AI applications benefit every section of society.
India, owing to its geographical diversity and climatic dynamics, is prone to a multitude of weather and climate-related threats, ranging from acute disasters such as floods and cyclones, to more longer-term threats such as droughts and heatwaves. While physics-based numerical methods have been largely successful in dealing with these challenges, they are computationally very expensive and relatively harder to customise at a local and regional level. The centre also aims to harness the transformative power of AI in creating robust local and regional models for sustainability and disaster mitigation.
