DeepSeek and AI Resources in India
DeepSeek's breakthrough in AI innovation has raised concerns, especially for the U.S., but it also acts as a wake-up call for India.
India is working on establishing large computing facilities, with 18,000 GPUs planned for AI research.
Private companies are setting up data centers, and the government is focused on creating foundational AI models to train AI systems effectively.
Necessity of Foundational AI Models
India has launched an AI Mission to develop its own foundational AI models rather than relying solely on open-source or foreign models.
India’s diverse demography requires tailored AI models, highlighting the need for both custom-built and open-source models.
While India was delayed by the pandemic, the country is catching up with plans to develop models suited to its unique use cases.
AI's Role in Humanity's Future
AI should be viewed as a tool to enhance human potential by automating routine tasks, allowing people to focus on more complex problems.
The goal is for AI to support, not replace, human abilities.
The development of "explainable AI" is crucial, ensuring that AI decisions can be traced to their sources, making them transparent and understandable.
Quantum Computing and India's Involvement
Microsoft’s success with Majorana 1 and topological qubits is seen as a significant step forward in quantum computing.
Topological qubits, which are more resistant to defects, may lead to more robust quantum computers.
There’s ongoing research in both superconducting and topological qubits, and India is also exploring the potential of quantum AI to revolutionize machine learning.
