India lags behind China in artificial intelligence by a decade, may slip towards digital colonisation
FirstpostChina has been using artificial intelligence as its strategic weapon to leapfrog ahead of the United States and achieve global domination Artificial intelligence amplifies human mind and ingenuity in amazing ways across virtually every domain. India is lagging behind China in AI by at least a decade, and it also routinely gives away its unique data assets to foreign countries because of the ignorance of its leaders. Given its lack of effective strategic planning on AI and big data, plus its dependence on American digital platforms and Chinese hardware, India might slip further towards digital colonisation. We must question and openly debate why India lags at least a decade behind China in AI and related technologies, despite India having been recently proclaimed as the world leader in software.
