Pratima Mondal’s supplementary question on whether India has any globally competitive foundational AI model
Sir, when India seeks to project itself as a global AI leader, how did a Chinese Robot ‘Orion’ end up being showcased as an Indian innovation at the AI Summit by a university known for its proximity to ruling party leaders and what better mechanism exists to prevent such embarrassment to the country? Sir, the hon. Minister cited global praise for India’s digital infrastructure, but the most advanced AI models and computing infrastructure are currently dominated by a few countries like the United States and China. Could the Minister clarify whether India today has any globally competitive foundational AI model or large-scale computing capacity comparable to these nations?
