This technology is likely to have a more profound impact on the <strong>global economy and society.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What are challenges for India in ddevloping it own capablities in AI?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Numerous Indian companies, like Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys have embraced <strong>Generative AI<\/strong>. But, none of them have developed their own<strong> foundational AI models<\/strong> .<\/p>\n<p>Indian technology firms and even the Indian government have primarily concentrated on the <strong>applications of AI. <\/strong>However, focusing exclusively on applications would be a mistake.<\/p>\n<p>Establishing<strong> AI capabilities like Generative AI models<\/strong>, will pose a significant challenge for India due to its late entry into this domain.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, both<strong> university research institutes and technology giants<\/strong> like OpenAI, Google have invested substantial resources in <strong>cutting-edge AI research. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In China, companies like Baidu and SenseTime, along with numerous startups, have created their o<strong>wn Generative AI models. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In European countries, many firms and research institutions in France, Germany, and other European nations are developing their <strong>own transformer and other AI models<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Even in South Korea, internet giant Naver is entering the <strong>AI research arena.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What should be done?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>India should also invest in the capacity to create <strong>indigenous foundational AI models. <\/strong>Furthermore, India needs to commence research into the <strong>next frontier of AI,<\/strong> known as <strong>General AI.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>India must formulate a <strong>clear plan <\/strong>and execute it<strong> effectively.<\/strong> One option is for the Indian government to take the lead and establish a<strong> national AI computing center. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another approach, is similar to the <strong>original charter of OpenAI.<\/strong> It involves <strong>collaboration <\/strong>between influential Indian IT firms to fund an<strong> AI research institute. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This <strong>cooperative model<\/strong> would require setting aside <strong>market rivalries<\/strong> to focus on the<strong> long-term common good. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Iit is imperative for the government to <strong>formulate policies<\/strong> that can attract the most brilliant Indian minds currently engaged in AI research in the United States or Europe back to India.<\/p>\n<p><strong>China&#8217;s AI research program<\/strong> has incentivized highly talented Chinese engineers and AI researchers who in US or European universities to work in China.<\/p>\n<p>The Indian government must <strong>formulate startegy<\/strong> to attract the best Indian AI talent to return from Silicon Valley and US universities.<\/p>\n<p>The government should consider <strong>enacting new legislation<\/strong> related to <strong>copyright and data usage, granting primary rights over non-personal data <\/strong>generated within the country to Indian entities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source&#8211; The post is based on the article \u201cThe need to build sovereign AI capabilities\u201d published in the \u201cBusiness Standard\u201d on 5th September 2023.
