AI Mission in India ?

A very ambitious mission is launched by the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India named as "AI Mission of India" and about Rs.12000 crores are allocated initially to take thsi mission forward at a needed pace and scale. There are some considerations that:

AI Mission of India ?

Government of India / Meity India has to look in to the following at the earliest: I shall come up a detailed Article at my Newsletter at LinkedIn shortly on this subject.

1. Regulatory framework for Internal Consumption to ensure use of Ethical AI, GPTAI. Even before that a separate Ministry of "AI & Quantum Technology and Data Management" should come up with an additional allocation of $ 2 billion, so, that dedicated focus is there in this crucial technology area that is going to drive New Economy of India. The Cyber Security needs to be accorded top most priority as AI & QAI algorithm shall be capable enough to decrypt any kind of encryption.

2. Expedite "Quantum AI Mission(QAI)" also side by side though "Quantum Mission of India(National Quantum Mission" is also running side by side and with a new ministry that needed synergy could be created.

3. When India goes for setting up of GCCs it must be looked in to that how this infra created for "AI Mission" could also be used for QAI Intervention & its progression as and when this technology gets perfected in India and embedded in to technology adoption pursuit.

4. GCCs or Data Centers in India must run by Green Energy preferably by SMRs(Nuclear Energy) or Green Hydrogen.

5. Use only Indigenously developed AI Tools or Analytics that are going to find application in critical sectors such as Defense, Space, Nuclear, Finance, Research, Pharma and for The Governance Model etc.

6. India has to accord top most priority in ensuring synergy to propagate with full financial support to AI Mission, Quantum Mission, QAI, and Semiconductor Mission as we are behind USA & China in these technologies as on date, so, the funds towards Research & Innovation, creation of infrastructure and developing skilled manpower so that India exploit this opportunity as it has young talent pool that could win this competition globally. So, India must not shy away in extending full financial support unhindered for 03 decades at least. We need to support Fundamental Research at the institutes, colleges and universities so that they become a pivot in carrying out top notch research and keep filing patents in these areas.

7.BARC / NPCIL / DAE must bring out that how fast it can go for fabrication & installation of a SMR as India has perfected PHWRs of 220 MWe indigenously as it could be part of SMR installation for GCCs / data centers time being before India perfect a 20 MWe SMR to scale it up to 200 MWe in adding modules or may be some innovative solution so that GCCs and Data Centers could be fed by these SMRs. Though, running them with Green H2 in some locations could also be explored as an option as renewable like solar & wind will not do.

8. The GoI needs to allocate more funds in Research & Innovation in emerging technology areas and PLI scheme to Start Ups that are going to come up.

So, wait for my detailed article on the same shortly.
