India needs a national AI body to guide policies and investments: Gopichand Katragadda
Hindustan TimesGopichand Katragadda is regarded one of India’s foremost thought leaders in the technology arena. While initiatives like India Stack showcase our ability to create scalable digital infrastructure, a similar model is needed for AI to foster widespread adoption. The key steps to improve adoption include: Developing a national AI body to guide policies and investments, increasing government and private sector collaboration to fund large-scale AI projects, incentivising R&D investments in AI through tax benefits and subsidies and creating public-private partnerships to focus on sector-specific AI applications, such as healthcare, agriculture and education. Key reasons include a centralised vision by which the Chinese government consolidates resources and directs efforts toward national priorities, allowing massive investments in AI and semiconductors. India must also leverage global partnerships to enhance funding and access to AI resources.
