Why are Indian firms racing to build local AI?
What are the objectives of AI Kosha? How will the Common Compute facility providing Graphics Processing Units help startups, researchers and developers? How many GPUs have been commissioned? What is the roadmap? Why are translation models important?
The story so far: On March 6, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology’s IndiaAI Mission launched AI Kosha, a national dataset platform that will gather non-personal data from various ministries and departments in order to develop Artificial Intelligence models and tools. It also launched the Common Compute portal to allow startups and academia to access a shared pool of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to build and run AI models and tools.
