AI chips: India must get its basics right to meet this great catch-up challenge

Live Mint  

It is welcome that India is gearing up to take on the challenge of artificial intelligence. Unlike earlier advances in information technology, whose national origin did not materially affect the ability of people and companies anywhere to use them, AI is seen as an enabler of geopolitical power. As Mint reported on Wednesday, the government has got cracking on a plan to develop AI chips in India, with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing leading this chip-design effort. As it’s far from clear if contract chip-makers like Taiwan’s TSMC can fabricate C-DAC’s designs, India will have to massively step up its R&D efforts to create fabs that can produce the kind of chips that run AI. China’s disruptive AI splash with its low-cost DeepSeek model, while suspected of using highly advanced chips on the sly, was probably enabled by a clever software-engineering workaround.
