AI symposium Harvard: CM Revanth speech

Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy addressed the AI symposium organised by Harvard Kennedy School in Boston and outlined Telangana’s strategy for artificial intelligence. The AI symposium marked his participation as the first Indian speaker at the event.

He said the recognition reflected the aspirations and potential of Telangana. Moreover, he noted his personal connection as a recent alumnus of the institution.

The Chief Minister said artificial intelligence had rapidly become part of daily life. In addition, he described AI as a transformative innovation driven by advances in large language models.

He cautioned that AI is a double-edged technology and requires safeguards to prevent misuse. However, he said the technology will continue to expand despite concerns.

Revanth Reddy said AI will not replace human roles entirely. Instead, it will reshape work across sectors such as healthcare, law, architecture, media, and policymaking.

He acknowledged that entry-level jobs may decline as productivity increases. Meanwhile, he said organisations may reduce workforce requirements in certain areas.

The Chief Minister highlighted Hyderabad’s position as a hub for global capability centres. Therefore, he said the State is preparing for future disruptions.

He said Telangana is developing the “Bharat Future City” with a dedicated AI City to emerge as a global hub. Moreover, the State plans to establish AI data centres powered by green energy.

He added that the government is strengthening manufacturing to position Telangana as a “China+1” alternative. In addition, it is expanding tourism, sustainability, green energy, and infrastructure sectors to create employment.

Revanth Reddy said the State is building a skilling and reskilling ecosystem in collaboration with global institutions. Furthermore, he proposed the concept of “people credits” to address job losses caused by AI.

Inviting investors, he said, Hyderabad hosts over 100 Fortune 500 companies. Meanwhile, he assured opportunities in AI, green energy, infrastructure, and sustainability sectors.

He called for ethical frameworks to govern artificial intelligence. Finally, he said the symposium will contribute to shaping a balanced and inclusive global approach.
