India is striving to become a leader in artificial intelligence by launching a comprehensive AI mission. This initiative includes significant investments in infrastructure, innovation, and skill development, with a budget of approximately 10,300 rupees over five years. Despite these efforts, India's private sector contributions remain limited, highlighting the need for a more collaborative approach to AI advancement.
The government is focusing on building high-end computing facilities and an open GPU marketplace to support startups and researchers. However, India still lags behind in AI innovation, contributing only a small percentage of global AI patents. To address this, the government is encouraging proposals for AI models trained on Indian datasets, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between academia and the private sector.
• India ranks 8th in global AI private investment, attracting $1.39 billion.
• The government launched the Future Skills Prime program to upskill the workforce.
The AI mission aims to enhance India's infrastructure and innovation landscape for AI development.
This marketplace allows startups and researchers to access high-performance computing resources.
AI patents represent legal protections for innovations in artificial intelligence technology.
