Artificial Intelligence has taken the world by storm. This transformative technology can solve age-old problems, generate real-time solutions, and guide companies across industries into the future of innovation. In India, AI pioneers stand at the forefront of change, leveraging this technology to bring change in healthcare, education, finance, smart cities, and infrastructure.

With new triumphs and success stories emerging everyday in this dynamic field, the AI sector needs a space where this potential, growth and achievements can be celebrated. That’s where AI100 comes in.

The AI100 initiative will build, recognise, and honour a community of AI pioneers, leaders, mentors, innovators and other key stakeholders across the year. This celebration of creativity, contributions, and conversations sparked by AI will highlight the role of 100 leaders in the space: the game-changers, decision-makers, visionaries, and evangelists.

Over the next 12 months, this first-of-its-kind, annual initiative will identify and highlight AI leaders, as well as host a series of roundtable discussions and virtual panels to discuss path-breaking innovations in the AI space.

Under the AI100 banner, a series of events, such as the AI Conclave, will be held to stimulate conversation and collaboration across the ecosystem. Throughout the year, curated content will be released in the form of videos and articles that capture the dynamic nature of this space. Finally, a coffee table book and whitepaper will be published, capturing the highlights of the event.

‍Powering AI100

‍AWS has been a vital part of India’s AI story, first harnessing its power for Amazon and then helping more than 100,000 builders, data scientists, businesses, and innovators unlock the value of their data with AI-powered services, tools, and resources.  Now, AWS, in partnership with YourStory, will share the voices of AI pioneers in India, through AWS AI100.  The initiative will capture the immense potential of India’s AI stack, build thoughtful dialogue and unique collaborations, introduce pioneers to the wider ecosystem, serve as a conclave of ideas, and recognise the leaders, visions, and contributions propelling India into the future.

As India grows into a powerhouse of AI innovations, AWS AI100 aims to fuel this growth, providing a platform for collaboration and mentorship, profound journeys of discovery and innovation, and recognition and achievement.
