Infosys founder Narayana Murthy on why India should not build its own AI models: “…the Indian mindset is still not…”

Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy ignited a debate about India’s approach to large language models (LLMs). In an interview, he argued against building homegrown LLMs citing India’s lack of problem-solving in certain technologies.
“We have not been able to build large databases, and without big data, AI (artificial intelligence) has no value. A large language model (LLM) doesn’t make any sense. Basically, the Indian mindset is still not oriented towards problem definition and problem-solving,” Murthy told Moneycontrol in an interview.
