“Technology should be accessible to everybody. We all know that technology, especially modern technology, is becoming very expensive. And in many geographies, the tendency is that it gets limited in the hands of a few whether it is big tech or in some cases government control everything,” said Vaishnaw at the Global IndiaAI Summit.
“A common set of technical and legal frameworks is also available here. Startups, entrepreneurs, academics, and people working on various applications in sectors such as agriculture, medicine, healthcare, and education can use this common platform to accelerate their efforts,” he added.
India saw the fifth most elevated investments previous year in new companies providing AI-based products and services, Stanford University’s annual AI Index report showed. As per Vaishnaw, the public authority will put resources into a AI compute infrastructure of of at least 10,000 Graphics Processing Unit (GPUs) through a public-private agreement.
"We'll be creating an AI Innovation Center that will focus on getting high-quality datasets, which can add more value to the efforts of researchers and startups. We will have an application development initiative where applications relevant to our social and economic problems can be developed and focused on. We'll also put a huge emphasis on skill development,” he said.
