Hyperscalers host EkStep digital public goods, build AI bot

Global hyperscalers Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud are hosting digital public goods (DPGs) of Bengaluru-based non-profit EkStep Foundation on their Cloud and are also working with it to build an artificial intelligence (AI)-based virtual assistant.

AWS already hosts Covid vaccination portal Co-WIN and personal document wallet DigiLocker on its network. DPGs are open-source software, standards, specifications, data, AI systems, and content collections, which can be used as building blocks for digital public infrastructure (DPI).
