Prime Minister Narendra Modi is co-charing the AI Action Summit in France along with French President Emmanuel Macron. At this summit, Modi stated that India is developing its own LLP (large language model) in a PPP (public-private partnership) model.
He said, “We also have a unique public-private partnership model for pooling resources like compute power”.
Earlier in January, Ashwini Vaishnaw disclosed that India is planning to develop its own generative AI model at the Utkarsh Odisha Conclave.
At France Summit, PM Modi said, ‘India is building its own large language model considering our diversity. We also have a unique public-private partnership model for pooling resources like compute power. It is made available to our startups and researchers at an affordable cost. India is ready to share its experience and expertise to ensure that the future of AI is for good and for all’.
He said, India is embracing the dawn of AI but the human element will always be essential.
“We are at the dawn of the AI age that will shape the course of humanity. Some people worry about machines becoming superior in intelligence to humans. But no one holds the key to our collective future and shared destiny other than us humans. That sense of responsibility must guide us,” PM Modi said.
He highlighted India’s open and accessible digital infrastructure, mentioning the successful UPI network.
He said, “India has successfully built a digital public infrastructure for over 1.4 billion people at a very low cost. It is built around an open and accessible network. It has regulations and a wide range of applications to modernise our economy, reform governance and transform the lives of our people,”.
