In a bid to advance the research and development of projects in AI and data science in Karnataka, the UK has launched a £2 million AI-Data Challenge Fund in the city.

A statement from the British Council said the money would also be used to “encourage industry and academic collaboration on technology solutions tackling social, economic and environmental challenges”.

The fund invites proposals in nine challenge areas: healthcare, environmental protection, water management, energy, future mobility, agriculture, education, increasing access to information and financial inclusion.
