Technical leaders around the world calling for India’s efforts in the field of artificial intelligence say the country will soon emerge as a key player in the revolution. They said India is ready to be the forefront of AI, thanks to its large talent pool, rapid recruitment of AI technology and substantial data wealth.
According to Open AI CEO Sam Altman, India has emerged as a very important market for AI in general and Openai in particular. “…I’m looking at what people in India are building, stacks, chips, models, all incredible applications. India should do everything. India is the leader of the AI revolution. You should be in. The country has accomplished,” he said, adding that India has opened the second largest market in AI. He claimed the company tripled its users in India last year.
Interestingly, Altman’s latest comment contrasts with 2023’s comments that called the possibility of building a competitive AI model “completely hopeless” an Indian opportunity. Responding to a question about whether a small team with a limited $10 million budget could create a strong AI Foundation model, he said: Basic model training. You shouldn’t try, and it’s your job to try anyway, and I believe in both of them. ”
However, he now reveals that his previous statements have been taken out of the context, and although the AI model is still expensive to train, it becomes more feasible, and India is now in the field of leadership. It should play a role.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai said, “India can lead the AI frontier!” Pichai pointed out that India should focus on Indian languages and that it should use AI to transform its industry. “For example, I don’t think the last known big breakthrough happened on the AI frontier. As I always say, we are a mathematical breakthrough away from the entire abandoned building. , we want something else. India goes to India. Mathematics talent, academic institutions and research institutions have the next big thing to do,” he said.
Reflecting a similar view, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said India is some of the world’s top computer scientists. This could be a major strength for India’s potential to become a global leader in AI innovation, he said. “It makes perfect sense that India should manufacture its own AI. India’s next generation will be the back office of AI delivery,” he added.
IBM CEO Arvind Krishna said India’s large population and data wealth provide unique benefits to the AI landscape.
If former Infosys CEO Vishal Sikka can do that in India’s Deepseek, then CAN can also. “I think India is very vast and important to the future of the world. India should do everything. Of course, India should build applications, but India should not build models. It’s wrong,” he said.
