Sovereign AI: India’s Next Big Leap
summary
India argues for building local models, open-source collaboration, data sovereignty, and hardware capability by citing Aadhaar, UPI, ONDC and the Bhashini and IndiaAI Mission efforts; claims include 500M+ Bhashini users, 4,000+ AI startups, 1.5M engineers graduating yearly, and a projected $100B+ capital outflow by 2030 if dependence continues. Examples: a 2022 ransomware attack on hospital records, Ukraine’s power‑grid hack, and reported ~90% retina‑scan accuracy in an Indian healthcare pilot. The call is to host sensitive data and models inside India and invest in chips (Qualcom nanometer 2.0 zero) and datacenters.
