But, Stephen Hawking feared that AI could end humanity.<\/p>\n<p><u>4. Radical transformation:<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>AI systems are set to transform economic, social and political organisation.<\/li>\n<li>Intelligent systems tend to centralize and monopolise control.<\/li>\n<li>AI economy will radically concentrate income and wealth.<\/li>\n<li>Many global digital industry leaders have called for assured basic income for all.<\/li>\n<li>Globally, just one or two concentrations of AI power may rule the world. Currently, these are in the U.S. and China.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><u>5. India\u2019s stand in the AI race:<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It is fast squandering its great advantages of high IT capabilities and a big domestic market required for data harvesting.<\/li>\n<li>AI does not develop in laboratories.<\/li>\n<li>AI develops within business processes, as data are mined from digital platforms and used into intelligence.<\/li>\n<li>Any country\u2019s AI largely exists within its huge, domestically owned commercial digital\/data systems.<\/li>\n<li>In the U.S. it is with Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft \u2014 and in China with Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent.<\/li>\n<li>India does not possess large domestically owned commercial data systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>6. Google and Microsoft are partnering with U.S. military on AI applications, and China\u2019s companies even more closely so with its military.<\/p>\n<p>7. The digital\/AI industry works in huge ecosystems with global digital corporations at the centre, and various start-ups and specific digital\/AI applications at the peripheries.<\/p>\n<p>8. Start-ups everywhere, including in India, are mostly vying to find a place in such huge global ecosystems, anchored either in the U.S. or China, generally by being bought out.<\/p>\n<p>9. The Niti Aayog\u2019s new AI strategy whether related to increased agricultural output, precision medicine or tailored learning is basically shop-window of global digital\/AI corporations.<\/p>\n<p><u>10. Suggestions for India to became an AI superpower:<\/u><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Controlling huge commercial data ecosystems.<\/li>\n<li>Technologies should flow freely across the globe.<\/li>\n<li>Welcome global technology companies to help India\u2019s digital development.<\/li>\n<li>Data-based sectoral platforms, like in e-commerce, urban transport, agriculture, health and education, etc, should largely be domestic.<\/li>\n<li>India needs to provide domestic protection through policy, if India begins to treat its collective social\/economic data as a strategic national asset.<\/li>\n<li>Such policy protection will ensure that large-scale data driven Indian companies able to develop the highest AI in every sector.<\/li>\n<li>Once enough AI proficiency and strength has been developed domestically, it should then be used to go global.<\/li>\n<li>With its highest IT as well as entrepreneurial\/managerial competence, and a huge domestic market, India is among extremely few countries that can make it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI superpower or client nation?
