Google Introduces AI-Powered Sounds Of India AppOn Wednesday, the search engine master, Google said that it is ready to offer a new artificial intelligence web solution application named Sounds of India, which will benefit the users with singing of Jana Gana Mana into their phones, in a karaoke-style. The application will transform the users’ voice into one of the three traditional Indian instruments.

This experiment has been possible due to machine learning models that are built with Google’s ‘TensorFlow’ platform for converting sounds into musical instruments like Bansuri, Shehnai and Sarangi.

Manish Gupta, the Research Director of Google Research India, said, “The day culminated in a rendition of the national anthem, combining many of the voices that Indians submitted through the app.”

For making this possible, Google made collaborations with Prasar Bharti and Virtual Bharat.

Google said that it is working with partners for bringing in the artificial intelligence benefits to a huge Indian population in the following years.

Google started ‘Google Research India’, which is an artificial intelligence laboratory, based in Bengaluru, for advancing the artificial intelligence research. It is implementing artificial intelligence for solving the most difficult challenges India face.

Manish Gupta, on Tuesday, in a blog post, shared, “We reinforced that commitment last month, announcing that leveraging technology and AI for social good would be one of the four focus areas for our $10 billion Google for India Digitization Fund.”

For the healthcare sector, Google is creating artificial intelligence-based technology to treat eye disease diabetic retinopathy by working in collaboration with partners like Aravind Eye Hospital and Sankara Nethralaya.

Google said, “Our flood forecasting tools are already being used to send alerts to hundreds of millions of people, and we’re working on computer vision techniques that can analyze satellite imagery to assist with restoring water bodies and protecting forest cover.”

ARMMAN, a non-profit organization, and a team from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, are collaborating on a project for predicting the risk of the expectant mothers dropping out of healthcare programmes. The other projects are aimed at reducing the risk of HIV/Aids for minimizing human-wildlife conflict and improving water release from dams.

Google said, “With a grant from Google.org’s AI Impact Challenge—and support from our Launchpad Accelerator— Wadhwani AI has started to roll out their solution to detect bollworm, helping farmers monitor pests, take action, and improve crop yield.”
