The IndiaAI mission aims to reduce dependence on American and Chinese AI tech while pushing the startup, research, and development ecosystem back home. But the reliance on American hardware demands that India recalibrate the priorities in its mission and bring hardware technologies into focus.
Developing indigenous large language models (LLMs) to reduce dependency on open-source alternatives from other nations remains the focus of the ₹10,000+ crore IndiaAI mission. It is a step in the right direction to address possible geopolitical friction that could restrict access to powerful AI models in the future, poised to bring a shift in scientific discovery, defence, and public infrastructure.
