While speaking at BT MindRush event on Wednesday, Nandan Nilekani addressed concerns around privacy and Aadhaar
Nilekani said: "There is no central storage for all places where one discloses their Aadhaar. Banks keep their data; healthcare systems keep their data."
"If you're opening an account in a bank, the data is in the bank.....if you use it for a health application, it's in the health system.”
The former UIDAI chairman further explained that Aadhaar is a system of optimal ignorance, meaning “the other system does not know what you did with Aadhaar.”
The Infosys co-founder said that he believes AI is “huge.” He added that, "AI will have impact across sectors and industries."
Nilekani said, “The ability to generate code will increase dramatically. All companies will now want to be AI first."
The Infosys co-founder further highlighted that AI will increase individual productivity, but will not lead to job losses
The technocrat said that although AI will open up several opportunities, there is need “to put guardrails" in place
Nilekani compared India's tech stack with the world. He said India has the complete digital architecture while others only have some parts of this
