The government will develop an open national “Artificial Intelligence (AI)” platform in order to showcase the progress the local software industry has achieved so far in the global sphere, State Minister for ICT Zunaid Ahmed Palak said today.
Bangladesh has been able to reach the top position in the global software industry, he said.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star’s Google News channel. So an open national AI platform will be created to display its capabilities, the state minister added.
“We are already applying artificial intelligence, big data, robotics, and machine learning in the country. We want to support Bangladesh Bank, development, banking and other services sectors through the open AI platform.”
Palak spoke at the launch of ‘Digital Nano Loan’ organised by City Bank and bKash at a hotel in Dhaka.
“While the pandemic has hampered many developed and modern nations of the world to keep their education, healthcare, commercial, administrative and judicial activities running, Bangladesh has been able to keep open everything, including education, health, agriculture and judiciary functioning,” he said.
