New Delhi, Jan 14 (KNN) West Bengal Finance Minister, Amit Mitra called for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning for the development of Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).

For that purpose, he urged IT industry body NASSCOM to come out with AI-based solutions.

He was speaking at NASSCOM’s first international SME (small and medium enterprises) Conclave at the Biswa Bangla Convention Centre, Kolkata.
