1:49Now PlayingFrom Adani and Ambani racing to outspend each other to fresh deals with OpenAI and Anthropic, India is going all in on AI. But will it finally turn ambition into reality?
Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a pitch for India to play a leading role in the artificial intelligence boom at a conference featuring tech stars from around the world, despite some hitches and logistical issues.
Modi positioned India as the tech leader of the Global South, with a model of AI development that sits between the corporate-led ecosystem of the US and state-backed China push, and gathered support from leaders like UN Secretary-General António Guterres and French President Emmanuel Macron.
The conference highlighted India's constraints in the global AI race, including a lack of high-end computing infrastructure, but also showcased the country's deep expertise in IT services and its potential for population-scale deployment of AI in sectors like agriculture, education, and health.
