Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran has reportedly said that for India it is “imperative” to focus on sovereign artificial intelligence capabilities, warning of the country’s exposure risks to ‘digital colonisation.’
“If we don’t develop sovereign AI capabilities, we have a major risk of having all our activities, languages and cultures being processed by AI engines that don’t understand India. So it will take it to a different place, a kind of digital colonialism that we should avoid. It’s an imperative (to focus on AI),” Chandrasekaran was quoted as saying in PTI’s report.
He was speaking at the Mumbai Tech Week.
He added, “The countries that will lead AI will not only export AI, but they will be leaders in the future ways of thinking, and they will export that around the world. It’s so important that India gets it right.”
Moreover, the Tata Sons chairman also stressed upon using independent infrastructure such computing capabilities, research and development to also safeguard data.
Chandarsekaran further said that building sovereign AI capabilities means being a ‘creator’ and not a ‘consumer.’
He also hailed the Centre’s IndiaAI mission which is focused on building independent AI foundational models.
