What is known

Now India is trying to stand out. It has already managed to attract great attention from companies such as Apple and NVIDIA. Having achieved great success in the computer segment, the country plans to capitalize on the excitement around artificial intelligence and increase its development in its region, with the government announcing plans to build a strong infrastructure through a massive capital investment of 200 million euros. US$1.24 billion.

Officials haven’t revealed details of what they plan to do to capitalize on the AI ​​excitement, but The Register reported that the massive supercomputer will be built as part of the IndiaAI Computing Capability initiative.

Supercomputer is expected to be used 10,000 unnamed AI GPUs. However, it can be assumed that they will be supplied by the previously mentioned company NVIDIA. Firstly, today OpenAI is a leader in this field, supplying equipment for the development and operation of artificial intelligence to companies such as Google, X.corp and others. Second, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang recently met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after which the country announced that it had ordered more than half a billion dollars worth of GPUs.

The country also plans to step up efforts in the field of research and developmentThe government has announced the establishment of a new academic institution, the IndiaAI Innovation Centre, which will be solely responsible for the research and development of new language models for domestic and foreign markets.

Local master’s degree (LLM) studies will bear fruit as there are 22 official languages ​​in India, which the government is required by law to develop. Some of these languages, such as Bengali, Marathi and Telugu, are spoken by more than 80 million people, while others are spoken by much fewer people. AI giants may not prioritize Masters development for the nearly 35 million Malayalam or Punjabi speakers. It looks like India plans to go it alone.

Some other reforms are also planned:

• Mechanism IndiaAI startup fundingfacilitates financing to accelerate the commercialization of both newly established companies and artificial intelligence projects in the sector;
• IndiaAI’s dataset platform to raise more funding improving datasets In the public sector, local AI companies and the government have the data they need to build relevant AI applications;
• IndiaAI FutureSkills program will evolve It will provide access to graduate and postgraduate programs in the field of artificial intelligence and create data and artificial intelligence laboratories.It will conduct foundational courses on data and artificial intelligence across India, especially outside major cities.

The Indian government is reportedly relying on the private sector to drive AI development in the country, and companies like Yotto, an Indian AI firm, are at the forefront. The country also plans to partially use its own technologies to create a supercomputer, but there are no details about this at the moment.
