'India can be global AI use case capital': MeitY secy

New Delhi: India should aim to become the global use case capital for AI if the adoption of the technology is to be spread widely, electronics and information technology secretary S Krishnan said on Monday.

Speaking at an event organised by Nasscom, the secretary also said while the country will continue to be an open system allowing all major AI players, it will also develop its own AI infrastructure across large language models and data centres. Democratisation of AI resources is a key aim for the Centre during the upcoming IndiaAI Impact Summit. The multilateral gathering of world leaders, set to be held in the national capital next month, will discuss global policy making in AI.

Earlier in the day, US ambassador designate to India Sergio Gor announced that New Delhi would be invited next month to join Pax Silica. Krishnan lauded the move. "It's a recognition of where India needs to be, and how it's a reliable and trusted partner in important value chains," he said.
