India’s ambitious plan to enable access to 10,000 graphic processing units (GPUs) that are deemed essential for the creation of artificial intelligence-based applications and models is a “good starting point” as it strives to stay apace with global leaders in the rapidly evolving area of AI innovation, top investors and technologists said.
The Rs 10,372 Cr Artificial Intelligence (AI) Mission, announced on Thursday, will operate on a public-private partnership model. It will extend GPUs as a digital public infrastructure that can offer AI-as-a-service.
This will provide Indian companies with their own computing hardware a scarce resource globally allowing them to create more AI applications and arming the country to compete better with the likes of the US, China and the UK which are ahead in the race to dominate the sunrise sector.
