Colombo, July 2 (Daily Mirror) – Sri Lankans need to prepare to learn about new technologies like nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology (IT) and artificial intelligence (AI). These are the most important fields in the world. But Sri Lankans are about 15 years behind other countries in preparing for them, Education Minister Susil Premajayantha said.

The Minister made this comment while joining the inaugural programme of starting artificial intelligence-related student clubs (Al Clubs) in 100 schools selected by the Education Ministry and the Technology Ministry,  at Temple Trees today.

AI technology is applicable to making a transformational change in all fields of the twenty-first century, and it is an imperative issue for our country to face, the Minister said.
