Why small AI could be India’s big opportunity

The race for AI supremacy, with its implications for the fortunes of countries and organisations, is a continuous process. Like the Western world and China, India too needs to build large models that enable it to have an independent sovereign AI foundation. This foundation will give nations and organisations the advantage to shape their future in the global context. It will also involve massive and sustained investments.

For India, a consistent focus and investment in small AI models could deliver significant economic advantage. Small AI models aimed at distributing intelligence, rather than producing intelligence, could hold greater promise.
