Thiruvananthapuram: During a recent press briefing in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar informed that India will be developing its own AI foundational models.
“The world is talking about ChatGPT and OpenAI. Based on our own languages and our own India data sets, we expect that as a consequence of India’s AI mission, we will have sovereign AI models that are designed and built in India,” he said.
Chandrasekhar informed that the language models will be India-centric and will serve use cases like healthcare, finding new medicines, farming, teaching, and how the government runs things.
Calling data a currency for AI and other related projects, he said that Indian startups and companies will have access to non-personal data collection platforms. Rs 2,000 crore has been set aside by the government to finance startups in this field.
