Underscoring the importance of building large language models (LLMs) for generative artificial intelligence (AI) based on local datasets, Indian entrepreneurs said that the country needs to leverage the large amounts of data being generated by companies and government bodies to train these models.<\/p>\n
Additionally, they also emphasised on accessing these datasets to train AI models in Indian languages that do not have much material published on the internet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI fundamentally believe that India should have been paying a lot more attention to AI than we have till today. It is more up to the entrepreneurs\u2026 and I would say AI \u2026 for Indians \u2026 will be more important because we lack the resources available for citizen services like education, health, financial services,\u201d said Vijay Shekhar Sharma, founder and CEO, Paytm.<\/p>\n
He was speaking at the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) Summit in New Delhi on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnlike a social network or internet search engine, where a western solution can help because it is based on fundamental (technologies), here (with AI) there is an obligation for expertise of India, or a model that is trained in India or from data points, whether they are citizen data points or historical data points. It is even more important for us all that we take care of building LLMs or models trained on open source LLMs\u2026and that we don\u2019t miss the AI wave on the scale that we\u2019re seeing,\u201d Sharma added.<\/p>\n
Similarly, Aakrit Vaish, cofounder and chief executive of the Reliance Jio-backed conversational AI startup Haptik, said that AI could spark a paradigm shift for sectors such as education, healthcare and financial services.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe challenge in those parts of the economy has been accessibility\u2026and ease of use and functionality. AI democratises all of that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Vaish also questioned the availability of datasets for training AI models in languages that do not have enough material available on the internet to train such models.<\/p>\n
\u201cEnglish-based chatbots have existed for a while but most of us have not been able to crack local languages, and particularly low-resources languages\u2026to build LLMs for those languages\u2026where will the datasets come from?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Citing Union minister for electronics and information technology Ashwini Vaishnaw, ET reported on December 12 that India was negotiating with the 29 member countries of the GPAI for a consensus declaration on the proper use of AI, with guardrails for the technology and how it should be treated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
