India’s AI models to be voice-based rather than only text-driven

The government is focusing on developing home-grown voice-based AI models rather than only text-driven ones, which currently dominate the global AI sector. This move is expected to enhance accessibility, enabling the large sections of the population to interact with AI in their native languages through speech rather than text.

Unlike conventional AI chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, or Elon Musk’s Grok, which are largely text-based, the government’s approach is on vocal interactions.
