Ericsson’s senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer Erik Ekudden is quite upbeat about India’s AI ambition. Ekudden was in India for the recently-concluded India AI Summit. Speaking to news agency PTI, Ekudden said that India’s AI ambition, spanning the entire technology stack, aims to drive innovation across the domestic ecosystem while also contributing globally. He sees India’s AI ambition reflect a clear push to drive innovation across the entire technology stack, not just domestically but with global impact. “What I understand from India’s ambition when it comes to AI, and certainly across the stack, is really helping and driving innovation across the Indian ecosystem, and I would say also globally because AI being a very global phenomenon, will benefit from strong local innovation, but also collaboration across the world. And I think this is really what we are betting on,” he said.
