Launch of Indigenous AI Model and AISI
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced plans to launch India's own AI model and establish an AI Safety Institute (AISI).
The goal is to create a safe and trusted AI environment as part of the IndiaAI Mission.
Global AISI Efforts
Countries like the U.K., U.S., Singapore, and Japan have set up AISIs to address AI risks through research, testing, and global collaboration.
Initiatives like the U.K.'s "Inspect" platform and the U.S.'s task force focus on AI safety, national security, and public safety.
India-Specific AI Challenges
India faces AI challenges such as inaccuracies and potential discrimination due to its diverse socio economic landscape.
The Indian AISI will collaborate with startups, academic institutions, and the government to develop solutions for India's unique needs, such as multilingual AI and unrepresentative data.
Collaboration with Global AISIs
India’s AISI will work with global institutes to address cybersecurity, disinformation, and other global risks.
Collaboration ensures a balance between local relevance and global alignment, focusing on international standards and transparency.
Establishing Global Standards
India’s AISI will help establish a standardized AI safety taxonomy to improve global communication and assessments.
Support will also be provided for creating an international notification framework for AI models, promoting transparency and coordination.
India's Leadership in Global South
India, as a leader in the Global South, can guide emerging economies in developing AI safety frameworks and evaluation metrics.
Collaboration with organizations like UNESCO strengthens India's AI readiness and ethical development.
Building a Robust AI Safety Ecosystem
India’s AISI will focus on responsible AI, machine unlearning, AI bias mitigation, and privacy-enhancing tools.
The goal is to develop indigenous AI tools and frameworks while maintaining global collaboration for interoperability and governance.
