Q5861. Arrange the following steps conceptually involved in deploying an AI model for predictive healthcare in an Indian public hospital: A. Training the machine learning algorithm on the dataset B. Collecting anonymized patient electronic health records (EHR) C. Deploying the model for real-time risk prediction of incoming patients D. Validating and testing the model for accuracy and bias
Explanation
Deploying an AI model follows a logical progression starting with data preparation. First, anonymized health records are collected to form a dataset. This data is then used to train the machine learning algorithm. After training, the model must be rigorously validated and tested for accuracy and bias. Finally, once proven reliable, the model is deployed in clinical settings for real-time patient risk prediction.

Q5866. What is the cause-and-effect relationship between India’s push for data localization laws and indigenous AI development?
Explanation
Data localization laws require that data generated within India be stored and processed domestically. For AI development, this is crucial because it ensures that high-quality, diverse local data remains available for Indian researchers and companies. Training AI models on local datasets makes them more accurate and culturally relevant for Indian users, particularly for applications in local languages, agriculture, and regional healthcare.
