‘Artificial Intelligence will be the ultimate version of Google. The ultimate search engine that will understand everything on the web. It will understand exactly what you want, and give you the exact thing. We are nowhere near doing that yet. However, we can gradually get closer to it, and that is basically what we are working on.
- Larry Page (Cofounder of Google)
AI means Artificial Intelligence. Artificial intelligence is the development of computers that can perform tasks that would normally require a human mind. Examples are visual interpretation, speech understanding, language translation, etc. AI systems are both narrow and broad, and broad AI is considered closer to the human mind.

Let’s take you on a trip to the future – The year 2028, now high-speed internet is available everywhere in India – Sonu Kumar, a 16-year-old student living in Siwan, Bihar, is about to embark on a journey that will change his life forever.
Sonu was always average in his studies despite his best efforts. One day, his school principal introduced him to a new AI-powered learning platform that had just been launched in the country. At first, Sonu kept thinking that what would be new in this, but he was going to be proved wrong.
Sonu started using it at his home, on a computer he had bought a few days ago. With its Personalized Learning and Adaptive Testing features, the platform was able to identify Sonu’s strengths and weaknesses and tailor his learning experience accordingly. The platform also provided personal tutoring to Sonu, which helped him grasp difficult concepts, without leaving his town or village.
With time, Sonu starts doing better in his studies and his confidence grows. The data analytics feature of the platform provided them with insights into their progress, and they could see how far they had come since they started using the platform.
Along with studies, the platform also helps Sonu develop new skills that will be useful in the workforce going forward. Its advanced job-matching feature allows them to explore various career paths and find jobs that match their skills and interests.
Finally, as soon as Sonu completed his high school education, he got admission to a prestigious university in Mumbai. Thanks to the platform’s skill development and superior job-matching features, he was able to secure a scholarship that covered his tuition and living expenses.
When Sonu Kumar was packing his bags to leave his village for the first time, his mind was full of gratitude and thanks to Artificial Intelligence, its benefits, and the principal who introduced him to it, and while leaving home on the road in front seemed to be leading to a bright future.
