With AI, India has the potential to completely transform into the new-age factory and service centre for the world. AI is absolutely critical for realising our dream of Viksit Bharat by 2047. Therefore, India should urgently embrace AI with a holistic strategy driven by Atmanirbhar efforts,” Ambani said.
“My second suggestion, the scale and speed of multilingual data generation in India which will drive the AI revolution, will grow exponentially. We request the government to expedite the updating of the 2020 draft of the data centre policy that Indian data should remain in India’s data centres. Therefore, Indian companies ready to set up AI and ML data centres should get all necessary incentives including incentives for power consumption,” Ambani added.
Akash Ambani further stated that, "With Artificial Intelligence, India has the potential to completely transform the manufacturing centres, Including SMEs, so that India becomes a new age factory and new age service centre for the world... AI is absolutely critical for realizing our dream of a Viksit Bharat by 2047. Therefore, India, under your leadership, should urgently embrace AI with a holistic strategy driven by maximum Atmanirbhar efforts."
