Describing Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an opportunity for positive change, President Droupadi Murmu on Thursday launched 'Skill the Nation' challenge at a function held at the Rashtrapati Bhavan Cultural Centre.

Addressing the gathering, the President said that Artificial Intelligence is reshaping economies and societies worldwide.

"It is transforming how we learn, how we work, how we access modern services, and how we address humanity's greatest challenges. For a young nation like India, AI is not just a technology, but a tremendous opportunity for positive change," she said.

The President said that India's approach has always been that technology should empower people, promote inclusion, and expand opportunities for all.

The President was happy to note that students are preparing themselves for a future full of possibilities and opportunities.

She urged them to remember that technology, their knowledge and skills should be used to serve society, find solutions to challenges, and empower others.
